Unhappy Beware the Inflight WWW

Technology is a wonderful thing and as things advance onwards that seems to correspond into things getting smaller. Take for instance the now widely used mobile or cellular phone which was once as large as a standard briefcase and now looks more like a black box of matches!!! This brings me to my point which is this. We all know how how our "pin-striped friends" like to switch on their laptops as soon as the wheels leave the ground so that they can continue to beat their high score in Tetris!! And we also know that given the chance or the opportunity they would be on those mobiles as well! I have now discovered a new way for them to get arpund being discovered so please be vigilant in future and ensure that you take notice of whats happening (this does not mean you should stand and watch over their shoulders!!) The new way is to switch on the mobile phone ... hide it and then link it to the laptop and log onto the WWW inflight. This is a major safety risk and as such is very very serious. So please again be extremely careful and vigilant. "May the allowances be everflowing and the night-stops neverending!!"
