I guess any written message is that much more subject to misinterpretation; perhaps that which I wrote was not properly phrased and was so taken, and thereby, I chose not to take offense to what you wrote back - a simple misunderstanding I would like to believe, for to think you would wish to simply provoke offense would be to deny the possibility that you are more than but a simple jackass, and I would rather think of you as a friend.
I highly value the GPS display capabilities; it was something I sought when I imported a Portege 3000 from Japan before the line was ever available in the states in the 1990's, coupling it with a bulky first generation computer GPS receiver from DeLorme. For the purpose of GPS display alone I am very happy with it, and I am grateful that Dell saw fit to provide me with the unit as a gift brought in from Europe when these were backordered here in the U.S. I love the thing, but I believe it is capable of much more, or suspect it might be. Given the hundreds, if not thousands, of programs that are available for it I believe that there are many fine purposes, but at this stage of my life I am at a total loss of time to be able to start digging in and research it independently. Fortunately there are many people out there that have these, or similar, units; I post to ask their gracious help in discovering the good programs and uses, for there was a time that I would purchase every new program out there for my PC, and found at the end of any given year I had a rather substantial investment in programs I did not use any more.
I have enjoyed working with computers from my first days of communicating at 300bps on teletype machines from Oklahoma to a mainfram in Southfield, MI., and seen so much evolution. Might there be some folks out there that have found good business application for this in addition to the very highly valued GPS display I currently use?
Also, you, Mr. Hawthorne, bring about the use of the unit with Skype; if cost of communication were equal, can you tell me if there is an advantage to this? Can you also tell me what you think of the audio quality of Skype?
I appreciate your kind consideration.
