[pct-l] See SPOT run...

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I agree with you, Paul.

I am in high tech as well. If I am expected to fiddle around with  
electronic devices on my vacation I may as well just stay home and go  
to work. I go out there to get away from it. Completely, 100% away.  
Paper and ink worked for a very long time and I will continue to use it.
