Thanks for the info. I'm curious how decent the streaming will be on a slower broadband or even a wireless hotel connection.

Carry a copy of Richard S. Drury's book "Flightlines" (ISBN 0-9653993-9-7) in your brain bag. When it get's a bit much (and it will), read a chapter.

Rick is the Richard Bach (I can hear 99% saying "who?") of this decade.

Stories of flight and philosophy, Rick publishes in Airways magazine http://www.airwaysmag.com

Loved his articles in airways. Do you know who he flew for?

A-1's (Douglas Skyraider) in 'Nam, Flying Tigers, FedEx. I'd also recommend "My Secret War"... another great read of his.

Yup - his last job was as a check airman on MD-11's with Fedex.

I had dinner with him in Hong Kong at Fat Angelo's (in TST) a few weeks before he retired. Now lives in FHR, next door to Ernie Gann's and operates a "nostalgia flight" business out of FHR. A truly memorable man.

slingbox is awesome (see previous post)....currently watching local news at home in Indiana while i am in hotel at LAX--
good sound- good video--no skipping, no choppiness, etc

surf the net while watching home tv on laptop in hotel room--very cool (gadget freak must have)
