    Anyone used the internet from an airplane yet? I'm on a US Airways flight right now surfing the web from 32,000 feet. It actually works quite well. Only had a few hiccups so far and they didn't last long. It's kind of nice to be able to work on the flight and have the web at my fingertips. It set me back about $13 USD though. :|

        I don't know why but that's the first thing that popped into my head. Guess I just got a warped sense of humor. Mike

              I don't know what the exact rules are concerning membership but if I bumped uglys on top of Pike's Peak I would think that even if not a member it would have been quite an accomplishment. qudos
