Don't laugh, I feel sorry for your generation, Acer, with your
laptops, palmtops, kneetops. I've been flying with several friends for
exactly 30 years now (yikes! I really had no idea it's been THAT long!) And
all the computing power I need is in my head and my slide-rule bezel of my
Seiko wristwatch. No batteries, no Y2K worries, and perfect landings at
Martha's Vineyard, although the haze IS a bitch on many days.
( what happens when you're flying along and get a Y2K bug and it's suddenly
1901? does your plane become a hot-air balloon?)
