The display would fit into ~the rear shelf, and face upwards. A piece of optically clear glass at ~a 45-degree angle reflects the messages out to the rear. I saw something like this at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last January. They put it behind the red plastic that is often between the brake lights of new cars. I think Phillips made it. No voice input, though. -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ivucsb!todd@anise.acc.com "It's not the heat, it's the stupidity" -- Angry Poodle B-B-Q
