*Some* Toughbooks come with transreflective screens that can be read in bright sunlight ;) They tend to cost more :(

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).
