I bought this during a woot off at Woot.com. I normally wouldn’t be super excited about a Microsoft product, but this happens to be one of the cheapest ways to acquire a GPS receiver. Checking online it even appears that this little USB GPS receiver works in Linux as well. This was my first purchase from woot.com after more than a year of checking nearly daily. I have a lot of restraint when it comes to spending money. I had told myself a week or so before the woot off that I would buy this the next time woot had it; I lucked out. Anyways I got this because the laptop I got from work came with a car power adapter, what else am I going to do with that than use my laptop on long trips? what better way to do that than this? I am still looking to go for a road trip with my new car, and now even more so!
Maybe you can budget you road trip with that copy of Microsoft Money 1972 you have laying around.
So I tired to install that copy of MS Money, and it complained that I had a too new version of the .Net framework installed, and it refused to install itself. Its a damn good thing it was free.
