  From my recent observations, there is still a very low percentage of
cars on the road that appear to have GPS units.  That seems to me to
place such devices in the realm of esoteric as opposed to mainstream
such as cell phones.  I never said that GPS devices are used solely by
geeks in my initial post on this subject.  I merely said they were
geek toys.  Computers have most certainly gone mainstream, yet in many
respects, remain geek toys to a huge degree.

  My main point was to indicate how members of the male order have
quickly come to embrace that which they typically would previously
shun, that being to take directions from a source other than
themselves seemingly because the new source is digital, electronic and
geeky.
