Hi folks --

I make my living developing software and I would like to install a PC
with fast Internet connectivity on a !~40'-LOA ketch. That way, I can
(maybe) live aboard and still indulge my hobby and vocation.

How stupid is this idea? Could it ever work?

They make a marine radar that plugs into a PC. It has no display or
controls of its own. I believe PC's on boats are not all that rare.
Its not like they need a lot of power or space. I am not sure what you
do for a high speed connection at a marina. I have only dialup myself.
