I was just siting at home watching a local newscast while reading my favorite alt. newsgroup when the news on the t.v mentioned something about banning laptops and cd players on airplanes. The story did not mention any reason behind this ban on our favourite machines except quote " something is causing problems to our intsruments and we can't figure out what " What else are they gonna ban on flights? My freq jammer. Anyway I'm just wondering what will happen to those new planes that have ports on the seats. So that we can download our e-mail. ( Would we still call it downloading even if we were flying over the site we were downloading the e-mail from ) ^^^^ -jas
