New Garmin 396

I am going to practice a new technique that my girlfriend has taught
me:

- don't buy the thing for two weeks
- imaging how cool it would be, what utility and joy you might get
from it, how frequently/infrequently you will use it, etc.
- visit the website frequently. download pictures and documentation.
learn about it as if you owned it
- if after two weeks you still want it, then buy it.

Since learning this technique I have saved myself from buying all
manner of techno gadgets. In fact, I've bought little more than
groceries in the past six months.

PS -- full disclosu I already own a GPS and I'd say I get it out of
the flight bag for less than 1/4 of my fliying. When it is out, I
always do the same thing: set it down, on the back seat or give it to
pax for entertainment. After all, it's more fun to use my brain to
navigate. And yet... I do consider it an important piece of safety
equipment. It also is good at finding chinese restaurants in strange
cities for those important $100 egg rolls.

She's your girlfriend now and you are being trained by her.
If there is marriage in your future, you had better buy everything you
want NOW!
The rules get tougher the farther into the relationship you venture.
Don't wait, BUY!!!

If she brings up the subject of marriage, as for her website URL. Tell her
you'll be spending two weeks...
