i love my GPS and i also just learned that .org signifies a non-profit organization. perhaps that's what you meant by "they don't get it (money)"? :)
I would love to have a GPS but mostly because it's easier than reading a map, which I am perfectly capable of. Maybe in my own honor I should add lazy to the definition.
As for .org I get why people use it but if I was going to I would also register the .com version and have it redirect because if people can't remember they always try .com first. I also understand .ca when it is something specifically canadian, like the canadian branch of a larger organization (the US site likely having the .com)
i find the gps handy for finding specific gas stations on trips or fast food, etc. it also helps on visiting people whose house i've never been to.
