APRS - The abomination "Initially" called *Packet Radio*

Renamed to APRS, Amateur Packet Radio Service.  The purpose of which *I* 
saw as a misplaced piece of technology when the first "TNCs" came out.  
I had a friend that was a licensed Technician Class, whom had to rush to 
my house and have me help him connect his 2mtr rig to the TNC and a 
computer.

It took about 2 to 3 minutes of watching this "method" of 
*communications* to decide I wanted NOTHING to do with it!

If you aren't in the "loop", don't sweat it!  You didn't miss ANYTHING!

My $0.02.
