Wonders of Technology

Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, between Los Angeles and Tokyo, forelast legg of my little "Around the World in 9 days" challenge...

Well, despite the news of Boeing ditching their on board Internet solution, I am delighted to get a taste of this feature on board ANA0005 to Tokyo...

I must admit, I am was as well (silently) pleased to have managed to beat Mike on this one, almost at the line,  thinking I was experiencing this feature before him. Well... correction: I am beaten by a year!

The least I could do was hence to have a toast to the Cruftmeister! Sake please!

Connection is good, fast. Mostly reliable. Feels like a good 2 Meg ADSL old ISDN line. 7 access points are visible, according to iStumbler, all using the same name.
Cost is not prohibitive: $26 for the entire flight...

I have used various IM to show off and tell all my online friends.

One thing I'll avoid doing: VPN into the office and let people know I can reply to their emails! :)

Back to Sake!
