Luggage Laptops

Hmm....

If I were Dell, Compaq, HP, etc., I would think about a commercial where a wild monkey throws my laptop around (like the Samsonite luggage guy). Then the monkey (or a guy in a suit) sits down, opens the lid, turns on the power and WALAA! it works.

BTW, this is going to drive some significant redesign in laptops. Ruggadized laptops will be the order of the day. Drop from 10 meters and they still work!

I don't realize that. - (addison) - Sept. 12, 2001, 10:55:56 AM EDT

YOU DO REALIZE... - (gdaustin) - (5) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:16:16 AM EDT

Asked and answered many times. - (addison) - (42) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:01:17 AM EDT

Why do the cockpits have to be accessible from the cabin? - (mmoffitt) - (41) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:19:18 AM EDT

Lots of reasons. - (addison) - (40) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:25:00 AM EDT

Most of that could be fixed. - (mmoffitt) - (6) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:40:15 AM EDT

Fixing is relative. - (addison) - (5) - Sept. 12, 2001, 12:14:12 PM EDT

Better a relative fix than an absolute abdication. - (marlowe) - (4) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:10:54 PM EDT

Don't have airplanes. Then they can't crash. -NT - (addison) - (3) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:17:28 PM EDT

A slightly more moderate version. - (marlowe) - (2) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:46:01 PM EDT

I'm glad you've decided to moderate some. - (addison) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 02:15:12 PM EDT

Concur on time. Ban everything except GA ;-) -NT - (mmoffitt) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:46:27 PM EDT

Lots of solutions - (marlowe) - (32) - Sept. 12, 2001, 12:24:05 PM EDT

There's *no* "justs" here. - (addison) - (31) - Sept. 12, 2001, 12:35:01 PM EDT

Seven to ten years? - (marlowe) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:15:50 PM EDT

Yep. - (addison) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:18:46 PM EDT

OT: Kneejerk - (mmoffitt) - (12) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:23:13 PM EDT

Not given the emergency. - (addison) - (11) - Sept. 12, 2001, 02:22:02 PM EDT

It is weird. - (mmoffitt) - (10) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:44:39 PM EDT

Not really. - (addison) - (9) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:57:07 PM EDT

most arrests too... - (Simon_Jester) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:59:32 PM EDT

So, what do we do? - (mmoffitt) - (7) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:20:16 PM EDT

No. - (addison) - (6) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:29:23 PM EDT

You know something I don't? - (mmoffitt) - (5) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:30:59 PM EDT

Just the NOTAM. - (addison) - (4) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:45:34 PM EDT

Can you imagine the NOTAMs that'll be out shortly? - (mmoffitt) - (3) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:56:42 PM EDT

That's not that unusual. - (addison) - (2) - Sept. 12, 2001, 05:05:19 PM EDT

I know what flight following is. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 05:47:58 PM EDT

OK - (addison) - Sept. 12, 2001, 06:37:45 PM EDT

Here's a question for you. - (marlowe) - (15) - Sept. 12, 2001, 01:24:54 PM EDT

The answer is: - (addison) - (14) - Sept. 12, 2001, 02:25:27 PM EDT

I blithely ignore nothing. Shame on you. - (marlowe) - (13) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:31:57 PM EDT

Emotions gentlemen.... - (Simon_Jester) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:44:39 PM EDT

But this is part of the problem. - (marlowe) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:11:06 PM EDT

There's no shame attached to me. - (addison) - (10) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:53:32 PM EDT

That's harsh. - (mmoffitt) - (9) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:29:22 PM EDT

It should be. - (addison) - (8) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:42:33 PM EDT

Had to reread my posts. - (mmoffitt) - (7) - Sept. 12, 2001, 04:50:45 PM EDT

Nobody's saying it's easy. - (marlowe) - (6) - Sept. 12, 2001, 05:10:29 PM EDT

You did. - (addison) - (5) - Sept. 12, 2001, 05:20:41 PM EDT

The WTC survived the crashes just fine. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 12, 2001, 05:33:28 PM EDT

Doesn't change my point.... - (addison) - Sept. 12, 2001, 06:31:20 PM EDT

Re: The WTC survived the crashes just fine. - (wharris2) - Sept. 12, 2001, 09:24:49 PM EDT

All right. Maybe not so much words in my mouth as... - (marlowe) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 06:56:12 PM EDT

Not as bad as - (addison) - Sept. 12, 2001, 07:38:20 PM EDT

A few idiots with box openers who claimed to have a bomb... - (inthane-chan) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:52:58 AM EDT

They probably never would have got a chance to use it. - (tuberculosis) - (2) - Sept. 12, 2001, 03:35:06 PM EDT

Re squawk, this time. - (Ashton) - (1) - Sept. 12, 2001, 07:30:04 PM EDT

Too much uncertain. - (mmoffitt) - Sept. 13, 2001, 09:44:47 AM EDT

2 words... - (bepatient) - (6) - Sept. 13, 2001, 10:01:41 PM EDT

Cockpits are really quite tough. - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - Sept. 13, 2001, 11:52:34 PM EDT

Reminds me of a story... - (inthane-chan) - (3) - Sept. 14, 2001, 12:40:33 PM EDT

I remember that one - (wharris2) - (1) - Sept. 14, 2001, 01:20:39 PM EDT

Yup. - (inthane-chan) - Sept. 14, 2001, 01:24:42 PM EDT
