Well, I have always wanted the following:  A small box which will report (within
meters) where on earth you are located.  The box does exist, in fact, but it is
somewhat expensive nowadays.  Maybe some enterprising young soul will work out
how to mass produce these and then we can have the 'electronic map' that tells
you how to get from where you are to anywhere.  Of course this box would be useful
in conjunction with the Map CDEV too.. :-)  It would go nicely with the 
Activision business hypercard stack too.  Imagin the executive no longer needing
to tell the stack where he is, what a time saver. :-)

Just joking. Or am I?
