I used to have an icon on my desktop that looked like a coffee cup
with a name of Cup Holder. I'd show it to friends/clients and watch
their faces when I clicked on it and my CD drive opened.
How geeky was *that*?

No, but it does phone home and verify that his registration is valid; if
not, the truck won't start.

I wonder how much the added wind resistance affects his MPG?

I thought about mounting a broken CD-ROM drive in a car and using it as a
cup holder. Press the button, and the cup holder comes out. Press it
again, and it goes away. Nice!
Hm... Wonder if there's room behind the dash in the truck. Maybe I can
borrow the mechanism and adjust it for that cup holder... :-)

No, but it does have Windows so I could see it crashing quite a bit.

Not quite as geeky as renaming /dev/cdrom to /dev/cupholder ;-)
(I haven't done it.)

That would be ctrl-alt-backspace to reboot Linux.

This guy works at the same company I do. Notice the log bumper on the
front of the truck. Before the circuit boards, he had the whole truck
stuccoed a peach color. The grill was turquoise painted sticks. I always
liked the stucco version better than the circuit boards. Of course I've
parked next to the truck and seen it up close.

I've been trying to come up with an idea for front and rear bumpers
for my Luv. This looks like the inspiration I needed. Now if I can
ever get my sons to finish it.
You must have really been bad in your last life.

How about a Beowolf cluster of these?
If it crashes, can you usee ctrl-alt-del to reboot?
