For those interested in Chris Snell's High altitude ballooning presentation:

There's an article in last month's Nuts and Volts:
	"The Nearsys Flight Computer"
	http://www.nutsvolts.com/online-features/article/947
that details a "near space" flight computer that a high altitude ballooner is 
building (Nuts-n-Volts login required.. see me for a PDF copy if interested).
CHRIS: I think that he's using a BasicStamp for the brains.. and for real time 
GPS/APRS, he's using a cool little device kind of like the one that you're 
looking at, but his is called the "TinyTrak".  Check it out:

In this month's issue.. there's also an article on AVR microcontroller 
programming(finally).  But instead of the Arduino platform, it focuses on an 
AtMel dev kit called the "AVR Butterfly":
