Frank,
You said: "Apart from obsolete licensing requirements, paper tables are only for devoted hobbyists, antiquarians and apocalyptic survivalists (in case the change of focus confused anyone following along, I'm talking now about ocean navigation --not space navigation)"
This has to be the most fabulous line I have read this year. Apocalyptic survivalists! Love it! Such a picker upper line as I trudge through painting my house (between rain showers).
