Which reminds me. I'm sure I used to have a freeware programme that allowed mobile phone text messages to be written via the PC keyboard. Anyone remember it? Text messages is one area where my familly regard me as a Luddite. I can't stand the way the complication of using the limited 'phone keypad. BTW, I happened to look into Serveinfo last night, to find a presumably bored David Pedley set up as EGLL_APPR, with absolutely no traffic. Overcome by guilt, I abandoned my intended, FS9 AI populated offline plans and flew FPI. I missed the ATC chatter but felt less guilty. Well, I did until he had to dash off, as soon as I landed. Those of us with no jobs to go to can forget that staying on-line until ten can be a problem for those having to work for a living. Anyway; I often see David's name in the evening's slot, so perhaps any of us seeing it, and at a loose end, could post to this list, if they wish to give him something to do? That way we could occasionally sustain his enthusiasm and enjoy the benefit of someone else on line, in the UK. Nothing formal, just on an ad hoc basis.
