You know, that's just a bit obscene. ;-)

Back in 1978 I built the power supplies for the first GPS constellation.
The first GPS receivers were about the same size and weight of a
microwave oven. And cost nearly $250K.

Fast forward 10 years, I built the telemetry system for the first RPVs.
(Remote piloted vehicles.)

And now this. Sweet. If I wasn't too broke to even PAY attention, I'd
want one of these to play with.

Guess I'll have to just be content to sit and read the news via ITTY on
my old Lorenz TTY machine.

There, see...back on topic. ;-)
