This didn't seem to fit Insider News, whereas it's not new tech, but this is a supercool historical story nonetheless and one I thought a lot of you might enjoy seeing the history of your digitized maps and a functioning navigation system from the mid 1980's.

Thank you for that! 
That was fascinating - and a brilliant development before GPS Satellites.

Here[^] One of my favorite bass players. Yesterday, whilst driving the family around, the missus was rifling though the radio stations and happened upon "Starship Trooper" to which I said "Can we leave it here?", and she did. Now understand, this NEVER happens. Even the younguns didn't gripe, this also NEVER happens. We listened to the whole song, which upon ending, the station was immediately switched.

I remember hearing 'Roundabout' when I was a teenager and instantly becoming a 'Yes' fan. For me, it was the interesting bass parts and unmistakable Rickenbacker sound from Squire that I was attuned to. Sad news indeed!

Exactly! The very same thing (along with Jon Andersons' voice) that caught my ear. Two completely dissimlar sounds that when combined were magical.

As a janitor in a small town library, I was eager to either...
[A] get to work early, or
[B] stay late after closing
...in order to do the floors, because the library was ultra super progressive (well, for those days) in amassing various collections of music on vinyl discs.
YesSongs was without a doubt the #1 choice during those hours.

How does it see where's it's going?
...I watched a documentary about how a dog navigates more with it's nose than with it's eyes - which I got proof of when our old dog got cataracts and went blind - he could run around almost at full speed!

There's no difference. I have no middle initial, neither does Clark Kent - coincidence, I think not!
