Pretty cool, ard...
When I flew for work, very frequently over the course of 25+ years, the excitement was when in-flight calling, at 3 bucks a min, came along.

The only options to pass time then was to read, sort through one's briefcase, watch a highly edited movie, listen to elevator music through plastic tube 'ear phones', or smoke butts & drink copiously back in the fun section.
Times change...747 flights from JFK to ORD.

I really appreciate the in-flight internet. But then again, I should probably join some 12-step program for net junkies....

^^ Indeed they do! I flew one of those from JFK to LHR. Wasn't old enough to drink. but sure remember the upstairs lounge! (Actually my parents were friends with the Sr. VP of the airline, so they closed the upper deck lounge to just their family and ours...

Internet on an aircraft... yet my iPod being on during take-off and landing could cripple the plane.
