    Google Maps vs Waze vs Apple Maps vs physical paper maps?

    I normally use Waze, but keep an old GPS (a Tom Tom I think) in the glove compartment. It has happened in the Kruger that you totally lose cellphone reception and then the old GPS still does it's thing.

    What was the first cell phone you owned?

    Bosch Cartel in 1995. It was the same as the Motorola of the same period, but without the 'flip cover' over the keypad. It came with two batteries - one lasted about 8 hours and the other 12 hours, as long as you didn't use the phone much. I later bought a battery that lasted 24 hours which was...

    What were the specs of your first home PC?

    My older brother had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum that we messed around with when I was still at school. When I started working I bought a second hand IBM XT with 640KB RAM and a 10MB HDD.

    Do you still carry a physical wallet/purse?

    I've had three incidents where I couldn't pay with my phone - twice after filling my car up and once at Clicks. Then you get a WhatsApp from the bank to tell you they stopped a possible fraudulent payment. If you reply to say it was not fraud you can try again after 5 minutes. That's why I...
