Panasonic makes a lot of different ToughBooks. I use one for my weather station
(WU IONOTTAW15, CWOP D7146) and it has a serial port, runs XP (slowly, but
accurately), it is splash-proof, has touch screen (and I though touch screen
was invented by Apple) and, the best - I got it for $150 two years ago. This
one was in use by some local Police Force; there were tons of them used that
way. If you look around you might be able to find it; I would start in any
surplus stores, computer for schools outlets etc. One problem if you use it
on-board - it does not handle sun too well (as you won't be able to see
anything in bright sunshine).
