So How Many got a GPS

So how many members got a GPS for Christmas?

Was it what you wanted? Was it a surprise? Have you gone for a "Test Drive" yet?

I'm very happy with the 3597 I got last year. This year I got a wireless weather station to replace my old one that the remote units are slowly failing one by one. Now, if I can just keep the tree rats away from the Rain Gauge!

...In a few months and I have heard that driving in Seattle can be a nightmare. Any tips would be appreciated. (Oh, by the way, I will be driving to Pier 91 if that helps in any way.)

My favorite Files not updating from list...

When I checked My Favorite files a couple days ago, I noticed that Trader Joe's and Ford Dealerships had updated (Dated Dec 2) but I didn't have the check mark on them as 'new'.

Yesterday, I noticed that Aldi also was new (Dec 3) but again,there was no check mark on that file as 'new'.
