When I think of computers in cars, I think of the little
Zemco Compucruise that I put in my '69 Mustang back in 1980.
Anyone else out there had one? It was nifty, calculating
instantaneous MPG, ETA, cruise control (with a nifty feature
to accelerate to a given speed), temperature monitoring, etc.
Before the Mustang went off to a new owner, I removed all
the parts and put them in a bag. Years later, I found a
Usenet message from my old friend Dale Luck (of Amiga Corp.)
looking for Compucruise parts. Off it went.
