How many pilots are using technology

I've always been an "Early Adopter" when I could afford it and my
degree and profession are in computer science. Having said that I use
a portable GPS and even fly IFR using it. I also have RNAV in the
panel. The rest of the stuff is "gadgets" to me. If I can bring the
charts up on the panel (moving map display and approach charts) that
is fine, but costs too much and I'd not abandon paper charts for VFR,
Enroute, or approach. The GPS makes flying much easier. Having the
approach charts on GPS is even finer, but again I'd never give up the
paper as its batteries never die although they do fly out the door
seal once in a while.

Your batteries fly out the door seal? You must have that new really,
really thin battery technology! :-)
