[Thumbgps-devel] Build vs. modify vs. what should we be doing anyway?

[Ron Frazier (NTP)]

I think configuration data should be stored in flash.  That way extended 
power off periods are not a problem.

My BU-353 has a supercap.  That's better than a battery that I might 
have to replace, or possibly couldn't replace.  But I don't like knowing 
that, if I unplug it for a week, I'm going to have to reprogram it.

Sincerely,

Ron

I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and
such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.  If you need a
reply and have not heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
