The box does exist, in fact, but it is somewhat expensive nowadays. Maybe some enterprising young soul will work out how to mass produce these and then we can have the 'electronic map' that tells you how to get from where you are to anywhere. Of course this box would be useful in conjunction with the Map CDEV too.. :-) It would go nicely with the Activision business hypercard stack too. Imagin the executive no longer needing to tell the stack where he is, what a time saver. :-) Just joking. Or am I? -- Yossie Silverman What did the Caspian sea? National Semiconductor Ltd.
