Why is this irrelevant discussion started every time some topic is being discyssed in this newsgroup? It does not matter what the initial question is, what problem someone tries to solve, what requirements he has, what limitations he may have, what possibilities there are in solving the issue at hand, there is always someone who brings up the #$%^@$@ GPS receiver and starts boasting the price it may be acquired for. Please people, please grow up. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
