The Internet continues to pop up in unexpected places.  First it was in
refrigerators; now it's coming to a gas pump near you.  From NEWS.COM:

        BP Amoco is expected to announce an agreement with Tokheim
        to turn its gasoline pumps into Internet-connected kiosks
        that would provide weather forecasts, traffic updates, and
        [of course] advertising, according to reports.

These "kiosks" reportedly will run MS WindowsCE and an unspecified
web browser (but you know it has to be some form of MS IE).

No word on whether the pumps will work if the kiosk is down. ;)

The full (very short) story is at
