AutoXray, Inc is selling a consumer's version of the dealer's scanner which can check your car's trouble codes and help you discover what's wrong with your car. Cost is $130 and you can check it out at http://www.autoxray.com.
I don't have one so I can't tell you how well it works. Read the article in this month's issue of Computerworld.

So put that on your Santa's wish list.
