On a totally unrelated note, I wad thoroughly surprised at how cheap satellite internet has become. If you spend $300 on a Garmin device and $50 a month, you get unlimited global text messages receiving/sending.

Considering that I spend $30 a month for Verizon prepaid, where the cell coverage is hilariously spotty and data is 1kb/s, an extra $20 a month seems entirely worth it, especially if you go off the beaten path like I do in random countries.

Hooray commerce!
