Couple of clarifications (not that I don't appreciate the humor and
consider this a "light-hearted" topic...

1) Yes, I'm a huge user of XCSoar - I even put together a short video
tutorial, which is on the XCSoar site. Someday I'll finish the other
videos in the series that I intended to make...

2) What I was trying to say was that most people _already_ have a GPS
in their cockpit somewhere. Buying a PNA or other device with its
_own_ GPS means having extra current draw/power-demand. I don't care
if its the internal battery or ship's power - duplicating functions
like that is wasting usable electrons, period. ;-P
