I've found a computer onboard to be very valuable for entertainment. Ours is
set up for watching DVD's and playing music CD's and that gets a lot of use.
There are also tons of games available, e-books to read and learning
software (you could learn a new lanugage for example). I'm not big on the
e-book thing myself but some folks just love it. We also have charting
software and I tend to spend a lot of time playing with that planning trips
and routes. I'm sure there are more fun things as well. Anyone have more?
By the way, we have a desktop pc (small form factor), a laptop and a pda.
All onboard a 28' boat.
Regards,
Gary
Westsail 28, Gulliver
