    Frank, I would have agreed with you up until about 2 years ago. I don't
    agree today. Today, if you buy a good computer at the upper end of the
    scale for navigation and ancillary uses, the hardware capability is so far
    ahead of the application software these days I feel that you could expect 5
    years of good use from a laptop. Considering the actual time a laptop
    computer is being used, compared with a good power tool (which might be 1
    1/1000 of the same time) I think that's a pretty good deal.
