Given that my office PC has 7S3 stored in it (thanks to multiple flight
planning programs) it's hard to imagine anything dumber, in this day and
age.


Are you kidding? The entire air trafiic system is being run on a

Commodore
64 with 48K of memory. Once you move across center boudaries only the
larger airports are stored.


A Commodore? I thought they kept it all on Rolodex cards.


Come on! Everyone knows that the Rolodex system is an expandable storage
device.
