Spend the money and buy a personal tablet... Big D will have some form of Spyware installed on the company Tabs.

I am also trying to decide on an I-pad. I am greatly looking forward to ditching the DOD laptop that I now have to carry with me, and was hoping to downsize to just 1 tablet - thus my dilemma. I don't like the thought of having to carry two separate tablets - but might end up doing just that.

Fun fact: Due to C2012, the DPMP was the ONLY plan at Delta that went DOWN in cost last year. The DPMP coverages were improved also. ALL of the company plans went up in cost, without an increase in benefits(some cases the plan benefits got worse) in 2013.

Just think how big our profit sharing checks will be when we give them more...Profit!

Oh wait, our Profit sharing is going to be reduced by 33% by then.

Never mind!

In DKR right now. Much nicer hotel and location with good restaurant choices. Sierra Leone here we come, possibly Casablanca as well. Don't look now but EK is cutting quite a bit of service, but they want to fly MAN-MIA?

I'm going to carry three, one to back up the other two, and a desk top and printer, for the layover!

Thank DOG we don't have to carry our flight kits any more.
