Nice setup neighbor, I have an old desktop in the corner on my workbench and a wireless network in my house so I can surf the net anytime. It can be pretty useful in the shop.

We had the program at one place I worked for a short time.Seemed like a pretty good system.We had some issues with getting it to connect sometimes but once connected it had pretty good features.Mostly used it for 7.3 and 6.0 diesel,pretty good coverage for them,wasn't dealer software but definately worth the money.
Yep, a computer for the shop is critical! I like to use a cheap external USB mouse and keyboard so if I spill something on it, or just get it all oily (which causes all kinds of **** to stick to it), it doesn't ruin the machine...I can just replace the $5 device.
I'd love to hear more about AutoEnginuity...I've been considering it and another software-based scanner (I forget the name).
What DMM do you have, and do you find the software useful for automotive work?

i have only played with it a couple of times, but i can see where it would come in handy to watch for intermittant opens, shorts, etc since you can watch the graph easier than the display on the meter. it will also record the graph for playback after a test drive.
Cool new tool. What is it? It looks like some kind of Garage Journal interface machine.

I'm going on a limb and saying its a latitude D610 which is a pretty darn well built laptop.
