Hi, Does anyone remember back in the 70s, there was a celestial navigation school called "Coast Navigation" in Santa Barbara? They had mail order home study courses and sold their own brand of sextants called "Simex" or something like that. I remember, I wanted a "Simex Junior" that ran about $850 back in about 1972. Anyway, wonder what ever happened to them. --- Gordon -- ,,, (. .) +-------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------+ | Gordon Talge WB6YKK e-mail: gtalge@pe.net | | Department of Mathematics http://www.lbusd.k12.ca.us | | Wilson High School Long Beach, CA | | (o- Debian / GNU / Linux | | //\ The Choice of the GNU Generation | | v_/_ .oooO | | - E Aho Laula - ( ) Oooo. - Wider is Better - | +-------------------------\ (---( )-------------------------+ \_) ) / (_/
