Running on Windows XP, this 15-inch, touch-screen PC packs in a 1.6Ghz Pentium M processor, up to 2GB of memory, a 40GB hard drive, and a display that's readable in direct sunlight. You can operate the ruggedized, 45-pound Ruffneck with your bare hands or with gloves on (and if explosions are an issue, gloves might be a good idea), and the panel will work at temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to a blistering 60°C (or 140 degrees Fahrenheit). No pricing details just yet, but don't expect to find the Ruffneck in the bargain bin.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2B9D22D2-91BB-427B-9950-206DEBE31DC2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
