QUESTION2: If you use computer-based charts on a laptop or other
onboard computer, how much Harddrive space do your charts take up??
(Let's say for a passage, or your typical cruising area)?? How large a
hard drive do you feel you need to be "comfortable" for charts and
your other uses??


It was less than a hundred bucks for a hard drive the size of a
paperback book, that plugged into the USB port and holds 80 gig.

I wouldn't mind knowing just what it takes.
