Give me a break dweebs! I have been a programmer for 25+ years but I know how to go from LI to Montreal without a frickin' GPS. From the way you make it sound, you couldn't even go to the bathroom without a GPS unit. Okay, I understand that it's not really a matter of not being able to read a map but the "joy" of playing with your "toys". I still get a laugh!
