Well, it looks like from the response about splitting Bowditch that Celestial Navigation is a thing of the past. Maybe it might be worthy of an appendix as a "backup" method. Wonder what's going to happen when at a very inconvenient time someone decides to turn off ( and they will ) the GPS. --------------- Second thought. I would urge people not to buy "e-books" with all kinds of restrictions placed on them. E-books are a menace to freedom. Checkout the philosophy section at http://www.gnu.org and the writings Lawrence Lessig and Richard Stallman. Instead of "Pay per view" if we are not careful, we are going to end up with "Pay per read". -- Gordon -- ,,, (. .) +-------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------+ | Gordon Talge WB6YKK e-mail: gtalge@pe.net | | Department of Mathematics http://www.lbusd.k12.ca.us | | Wilson High School Long Beach, CA | | (o- Debian / GNU / Linux | | //\ The Choice of the GNU Generation | | v_/_ .oooO | | - E Aho Laula - ( ) Oooo. - Wider is Better - | +-------------------------\ (---( )-------------------------+ \_) ) / (_/
