>> When will the next rollover be ?

1024 weeks from this August -- mark your calendar now!  The reason for the 
1024 weeks was that that was supposed to be beyond their useful life.  Them 
satellites are now aging (think I read that one or two don't  work any more).

>> BTW, did you see the latest GPS-baby from Garmin ? A color display
>> handheld (GPS 295) a la GPS-III (egg-shape).

With the $$ in my Europa so far, fat chance they'll get me to bite (yeah, 
right).  Might not be that much better in actual flight.  Colors help make 
sense of clutter; ease of actual use is helped by turning off the clutter 
anyway.
