Good Morning All,  I have a very short window of opportunity to purchase a
laptop for use with our Rio Grande ADCP.  I need a unit that will perform
well in cold, harsh environments so I decided to look at ruggedized
versions of the Panasonic, specifically the toughbook 29 or CF29.
Considering the price of these units is around 4000$ , I'm looking for
input prior to the purchase.  Any advise or guidance on these laptops or
other ruggedized units would be appreciated.  Dan
