    Hi Dave:

    The last time I looked (not recently) I can buy a GFCI outlet for a tiny 
fraction of the cost of a GFCI breaker and I have too many breakers...   :-) 
Also I have a bunch of old buildings, many with the old "fuse" boxes rather 
than breaker boxes.  I don't really care about lighting circuits, mostly 
just outlets where I might plug in a drill, saw or disk grinder while 
standing or laying on wet ground or a damp floor.
    I am also (very slowly) replacing the screw in fuses with those screw in 
mini-breakers that are made like a fuse but with a reset button in the 
center. It is not a big priority as I rarely blow fuses. About the only fuse 
I blow very much is on an air compressor that starts really hard cold and I 
do forget to unplug it sometimes. OK, so I forget it about 90% of the time. 
:-)
