    One day the GP will get used to emphasis by upper case characters... the way things have been since the beginning of the Internet.

    That my friend would bite you in the ass hard if you tried that where I live.
    I'm in Arizona... you better have a compass, or the ability to look at the sun and be able to tell AM/PM because otherwise you'll be hitting hills/valleys.

    Then again, if you were bright enough to bring a GPS and a charger, you're golden.

    You could say the same about a person arguing against cars as transportation...

    Besides, GPS plug into the batteries of your car. If you lose that, you have larger problems.

    I can so back you up on that one.
    I used a Tom Tom before, and that was horrific. I gave it to my brother, got a Garmin 1490T and it shaves lots of time off my trip dynamically. Whenever there's an accident/freeway gridlock/road construction, it routes around it nicely and I learn new quicker ways to get around without needing to research it.... on my way to work.

    Again, as said before, if you're playing frontier john and tenting it then you're best with a map and compass. (with a GPS in your backpack as backup)

    If you're driving to new locations, you're fine with a GPS and the latest updated map.
    Just like you would a map, except it follows the map for you instead of your finger.

    It will contaminate it the way it already has. Let's use some common sense here. This isn't a brand new cutting edge thing being thought about, this is DONE, and we know the outcome.

    Way to dumb it down to a non-intrusive tech.

    You know, feeding your children arsenic in light doses actually is a good thing, because it lightens their skin and makes for a better complexion during photography sessions and amongst those of political stature.

    Notice the GP did not say anything about the number of pills.
    Quality of life != lowest number of pills, quality of life == not having to stay dormant for long periods of time because of issues, etc.

    Most enterprises have certificates, and only systems that they have issued as clear are allowed onto their networks.
    Most enterprises have a guest network for the rest.

    Funny, every enterprise I've worked in (like 8+) has just replaced the laptop if it broke.
    The I.T. department takes care of the issuance/replacement/repairs/etc.

    So that pretty much nullifies the worry about a Dell Latitude next-business-day on-site accidental damage coverage.

    now small businesses on the other hand, that's a different story.
