That's what I was saying. Although it is pretty sad that the nationwide
system cannot keep everything together in a unified way. It's not that
it's that much data... just that the system is so old that it cannot
handle it.
If a couple megabytes of memory in a GPS can handle every APT, VOR,
ADF, INT for all of north america, regular computers shouldn't have
trouble.


Right. Let's put all the flight data in one system, give every controller
access to all of it, and make it easy to shut down the entire system.
