I brushed the snow from my keyboard and in my mind I could hear the neighbors whispering, “Call the men in white coats, there he goes again.” They may have cause for concern, as I am sitting on my deck during a lull in a major blizzard, typing on a laptop computer half buried in snow. My warfighter correspondence indicates that some war tasks call out for a rugged laptop rather than a rugged handheld device; thus, this cold warrior test of a device with embedded GPS capability.
