Dian- My kids (17, 19, & 26) call me a geek, but I don't hold a candle to Greg! I will show my kids the TechTrax article to let them know I could be MUCH geekier. If only I had a wireless network, rather than a wired network at home. Hmmm? ;) Parker Renaud prenaud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Not all who wander are lost" -----Original Message----- From: Dian Chapman [mailto:dian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 3:32 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: OT...tracking Greg's flight & dogs LOL...funny you should mention that! No, Greg doesn't fly the big planes...yet. He's a private pilot and isn't qualified to fly a commercial jet, although he'd LOVE to and he's put enough of them back together when he was an aircraft mechanic for the Air Force and worked in search and recovery. In fact, on that particular flight he WAS sitting back playing doom and getting free drinks due to the delay...networking their laptops across the seat with his former boss via wireless networks. Check out his article about it!

Actually I would have rather been sitting on the ground instead of flying in circles! :-( Especially around O'Hara! I take it that he did all the flying? I would have asked the other guy to fly (in circles) while I was on my laptop playing Doom or something!
