;-) Perhaps we can infer a correlation between the proliferation of electronic gadgets in our cockpits with the dumbing down of glider pilots? There are Standford University studies that indicate that multitasking can lower your IQ or that "people who are regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information cannot pay attention, recall information, or switch from one job to another as well as those who complete one task at a time".

RAS posts seem to verify these studies!

So, the obvious solution is to dump all the spendy computers, fly with basic instruments, enjoy the scenery, and preserve the gray matter!

Fly safe and have fun.

My comment was about vario sophistication. My friend has a Nano and a Garmin
for navigation.
It was also a reflection on my obsessive quest for a better vario.
