Correct. The Map cdev (or something like it) was originally part of the
Arabic Interface System (AIS), because one of the Arabic calendars depends
on where in the world you are. This allowed the user to enter his/her
location so that the calendar would give the correct date.
you forgot to include the ADB-compatible inertial guidance system, so the
user would have to reset his/her location each time the machine moved. :-)
