Doug,

You should know me better than that by now. :-) I love my gadgets and
besides, when I have to abandon my shop for the cruising life I will
need things to fix or I will die from withdrawals. :-)

I'm a software type, too. True, I get paid more for a complex solution, but for
my own use, simpler is better.

But was it good enough...? ;-P

I will have to admit to an old programming axiom:
"Within every complex program there is a simple one struggling to get
out." :-)

I have always held that it is easier to design a complex system than a simple
one that does the same thing. My father always kept a piece of card with
"Simplify" writ upon it stuck to his drawing board light. And he followed his
own advice. ;-)

True, except that boatbuilders' budgets usually don't allow for that much
weight reduction. Lost weight always costs about 10 times what it would have
cost to leave it there. And that has been true since the dugout....
