Social networking isolates more than connects. We lose valuable face to face social skills while typing behind a keyboard, droid, or blackberry. It's not to say they don't have a place - but "Social Networking" on a computing device? I don't think so!
This forum is social networking.


laker, I agree. The tools should reduce workload, not take your attention from the task at hand. I fly with a friend in a C182 a bit in the summer and I try to help spot traffic. it makes me feel important. But I keep the talk to a minimum. I got to sit in the right seat as passenger in a Caravan once. Fun.

Niel, glad to hear you have some clay on your boots. I do get seduced by these gadgets a bit. I am going to try Hanley's O2 sensor idea though. I have a two wire unit that I keep in the tool box for tuning old 70s bosch fuel injections. Haven't seen much use of it for a while.
