   we got by with typewriters, phones attached to walls and quite a bit   
   more. who wants to go back to that?   
      
   how many paper maps must one carry? for a major area like los angeles,   
   san francisco or new york city, that could be a *lot* of maps. for a   
   road trip, even more so.   
      
   and where exactly is the local drive-in anyway? they've pretty much all   
   been demolished.
