That reminded me, this company came out with a surfboard that had a built in computer right at the front, so you can browse the web durring lulls. Some kook paddled out with one at a spot called Rincon, which is always crowded with people from LA. He basically got laughed out of the water.

Thats pretty funny

I think the only good thing it's for is recording a quick lick and sending it to the rest of your band. Other than that, eh. Hopefully you can turn off the computer while you're playing it, or else it would rub up against you and probably reboot!

You can look at porn during gigs. Now isn't that total innovation right there? lol

[Santah]

With the screen on the back like that it would get scratched up pretty quick. All my guitars are scratched on the back, its probally from rubbing up agaisnt belts, zippers and buttons or something.

I would not accept it, It's really kind of an abomination against the "natural order" of things. What's next?
