I failed to mention in the post about the man on the airplane the following conversation:
flight attendant: free internet will not be available on this flight
me: internet? on an airplane? what?!?!
mohammed: yes
me: since when? how does that work? what in the world, this is amazing!
mohammed: well, since you have been living in a cave many things have happened

I then took out my ipod and sure enough internet access for $4.99 and it's called something like "gogo" internet. So crazy. I didn't want to pay $4.99 but I was tempted just so I could say I used the internets while flying in a plane.
i heard about this a while ago. here was what i read, about the first time it was offered:
ReplyDeleteflight attendant: internet is available on this flight.
guy in seat next to lady who reported it: cool!
...guy in seat next to lady who reported it plugs in or whatever and starts to use....
guy in seat next to lady who reported it: this sucks. it is too slow.
reporting lady writes: ten seconds before, he didn't even know it existed, and he already declared it sucked. what a jerk.
ps mohammed could provide a little diversion.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I saw that on I think David Letterman or something.
