I used one of the toughbooks when I was doing a lot of "on-board audio"
systems for Disney rides, particularly the Tokyo Indiana Jones ride.  That'=
s
a simulator platform on wheels (similar to the one at Anaheim) and a pretty
serious challenge in terms of multidirectional acceleration.  Never a
problem! (Unless you count keeping it in front of me.)

As I became paranoid over loosing data in this storm, I went to the
Panasonic Toughbook 29.

Will give a more formal review later when I can interface it to my RME
DSP.

But with the first few hours operation this laptop is great in
daylight when you want something that can take rain and severe abuse
and still see the keyboard at night.  The whole thing is close to
being bulletproof.

I am using the Toughbook 29 which is not a cheap laptop but is
something that is close to being a workable brick for field recording.
More once I get comfortable with it.
