When you get it make sure you don't put it down somewhere - they're
pretty easy to lose!

Try the big bookstores' websites, they stock much more than the
retail stores. When you find what you want, you can check competitive
with comarison sites such as <http://addall.com>. Hmm, searching for
Far Side Calendar returns current titles at links 5 and 6.

I hadn't even looked for one after they announced they would no
longer be available in the US. I've only visited the big bookstores a
couple times in the last couple years. No electronics books or
magazines worth buying so when they said the 365 day "Cartoon a day"
calendar was no more I stopped going.

I'm using u-blox and their product line is really cool. Their are really
easy to use, output either nmea or their proprietary protocol (which I like
better) and they provide up to 4 fixes per second.
They are about to release their WS line (weak signal), that supposedly works
even indoors. I'm going to try it.

We can only hope he comes out of retirement to draw more of his silly
cartoons. I kept a Far side calendar on my bench at work for several
years. It was disappointing when they stopped printing them.

There is extensive online docmentation at www.u-blox.com, however you
will need to register to get at the online documentation. There are
