DOS users *are* quaint and somewhat comical. So are navigators who still
know how to take a fix using the stars. So are guys who prefer holding
their breath when diving. So are guys who ride 30 year old motorcycles.
But if the GPS system ever gets knocked out, I'll still be able to
navigate a ship. If a scuba diver ever drops something after his tanks
are empty, I can go get it for him. And I can *always* get my bike
home unasisted no matter what goes wrong with it. I like being quaint
and somewhat comical.
Regards,
Ray Andrews
