A first for me...posting from the air
I'm traveling home from a trip, and my company is actually offering free in flight internet today. So I thought I'd post from the air. Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

2. Wish I could do that.
I can never stay involved in a book when I'm flying, but I could post for sure.

3. I can't normally....not willing to pay what they want
Only an hour and a half flight or so....not worth $10.

5. Airplanes used to be about the only place to escape from the Internet.
Now I'll be drawn back into it even there, at least as long as the battery in my iPhone holds up.

10. Hmm, try an Airbus 380 next time.
I've heard they even have a gaming console in the cockpit. Microsoft Flight Simulator installed! ;)

11. Computers give some useful information, but unfortunately still don't do as much of
the work as it would seem. Think the job is safe for now.

20. If ever one of the A380
comes down, that'll be a nightmare. On the other hand, more people die in car crashes every year, and I have yet to see a comparison between Airbus and say, Boeing accidents. So, it's safe, people! They all do a great job!
