Defender Warehouse Sale report.

Went to the Defender Warehouse Sale this morning - place was packed. Parking lot full, parking up the driveway, on the road, and in the Hendel lot across the street. Bought nothing! Would have meant standing in an hour-long line to check out. Rather, made a list and will order on-line, doing a pickup next week sometime.
Met a lot of old friends. Past fellow employees, past customers, and past vendor reps.
Most interesting vendor display was from the Nobeltec nav software folks. They had their nav software running on a PC, linked to an I-Pad with a wireless connection and showing the full nav info on both screens. The touch screen on the I-Pad would affect both displays - ie: full control of waypoints, etc. from the I-Pad. Not for sale yet and not fully sunlight viewable yet, but coming. Give it a year or two, said the rep. Interesting...
