I don't understand why people are so against new technology!!

I'm not against it when it makes life better (and GPS does make life better in
some ways). I am however against discarding old technology because it's old.
Heck, I'm old and I'm not ready for the scrap heap.

There is a big problem with even temporary loss of power to a GPS system, which
derives directly from its internal and systemic complexity. If you are being
bumped around in the clouds getting your sixth reroute, this is not the time to
have to start over with an initialization procedure, even if it would be fairly
simple on the ground or on a nice day.

I don't know about the rest of the electronic panel, but not all that is new is
better.

Jose
