That's because the Mircosoft Surface is today's Apple Newton.

Nice to see the participation on here without all the flame wars. We are all in the same boat, except for NewK, who is in his own yacht.

I do think the VA deal would help us, as a company and as pilots for that company.

I bailed on Air Watch. Too balky, not even in the same league as Good reader, and I'm just not into allowing any app that much access to anything. Check out the newer, smaller tablets... Much easier to lug around and cheaper.
Coming from this yacht, word of the retreat is good news.

I could already see myself making the Gatehouse PA to the people letting them know plane was coming in from the hangar in 30 minutes as passengers opened the door to the jetway and started walking out.

Embarrassment avoided.

How far we've come from Apples' 1984 ad. Although DBMS isn't as far cry from 'Lemonade Stand' on the Apple IIe.

Try Ellis Island Karaoke. Sknny Vinny does some mean Elvis. It's right next door to our layover hotel.

I flushed the Greek Isle brain cells long ago. Then we had really scary relationship with the smokey meth Sahara joint. Only saving grace in that crap hole was the awesome Thai place in the strip mall across the street. Still a 5 star LAS dining destination.

Addendum: if you want see a great concert at an awesome, try one at the upstairs pool at The Cosmopolitan. Snow Patrol and Ed Sheerhan were awesome; so were Foster the People. Complete city view at night, alcohol AND a pool full of chicks.
I like our current place and hope we don't leave unless its for the Wynn, Aria, or the Cosmo.
