You had all that? I remember well flying across the water with a mag
compass and a watch, nothing else.

You had a compass and a watch? Me and Orville had to count in our
heads (one kill devil, two kill devil, three kill devil DANG it Wilbur
will you shut the **** up I'm navigating here...)

Well, it is easier to navigate when you're only going a couple of hundred
feet........

And the map had one section that said "Here dwelleth monsters".

We call it the big waterfall, where the ocean falls off the end of the
world. I've been close enough to hear it......

That's what I usually do. I use DUAT for weather, etc, & file with FSS on
the phone. I often file a canned DVFR, & it's much easier to do that over
the phone, get my squawk and a weather update at the same time. For IFR, I
also prefer to file with a human. I have no quarrel with anyone who files
over DUAT or DUATS, though, it's just a personal preference. I just wish I
were still 40, though. :-)

Me...I always use DUATS and then call 1-800 WXBRIEF and ask them what
it meant.

Actually, I've progressed and use DUATS on my kerosene-powered PC. :-)
