with Raymarine over the years. What upsets me is the really short life cycle of electronics. What you buy today, is worth a lot less, tomorrow. It is one thing to see this happen to a $100 iPod. It is quite another, when you put $2000-$3000-$4000 on the table to buy marine electronics. C'est la vie. Electronic developments is leap-frogging at an unbelievable pace. Despite of my moaning and groaning, I do benefit from it, at least, some of the time.
