Good one. A guy I used to work with tells this one. When he got his first gps, they went on a junket from Maryland to Florida. He punches in all the waypoints etc. They clear the mouth of the Chesapeake, and he keeps heading due east. Whole convoy of yachts they're with follows dutifully, all figuring he's set a certain distance off shore before he cranks a right. Not happeneing. First mate haranguing him to death, he says 'gotta be right, the stupid machine says so'. To shorten a long tale, she finally informed him he had programmed for the wrong hemisphere. Mike
