seems like, for $30,000, one could replace many times a cow that wanders off... >> True story - newest GPS apps I have heard about recently: 1 - Cow Herding. Seems if you kick a cow's rump, and yell in its ear, it will move ahead and "away" from the sound. So they now have cowcollars with GPS tracking, a computer range mapper, and stereo earphones. If the cow wanders, the computer checks the GPS and yells in the appropriate ear to direct the cow back to the proper range area. $30,000 per cow now, but mass production will bring the prices down of course << -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
