No prob RA ,
I' m not a raving buckskinner either , I use a GPS for a rather huge forest I like to hunt , it is used primarily for scouting . The thought of navigating 17,000 acres without one is kinda scary , but I still carry a compass and know how to use it . Once I have the visual markers down the GPS stays home .

I' m hesitant to admit it , but age and some of the jobs that I' ve held may conspire to make me join you on hearing enhancement . I' m seriouly not thrilled by the prospect , but I may not have much choice . In my case this would be a matter of need rather than want , but I' ll hold off until I have to .

You sound somewhat similar to me , although I' ll probably never embrace technolgy to the degree that you do . I celebrate our differences , as well as our similarities , and I' ll look forward to sharing ideas with you later .
