No flight simulator = More catastrophic crashes

I am a pilot for Britain Airways - I failed most of my courses when I was a pilot student and subsequently was sent packing... I thought my dreams of a career as a pilot were over..... that was until I discovered Flight Simulator. For the first time I knew what an aileron was and what the sticks in the middle were supposed to do! I played FS for about three weeks solid, went back to pilot school and aced the entire semester! My uncle (the pilot school's head examiner at the time) told me that "you'll make an excellent pilot one day" the day I graduated and I've never looked back! Have a safe flight, I hope that I'll be your captin one day! Bonjour.

US noses past Western Europe in 3G stakes

@asdf Austrian 3G

I was in America only recently, and I must say compared to Austria and most of Europe your '3G' network is a joke! In fact even your telephone network is a very unreliable with spotty reception and terrible call quality. It's a different world here - for example my HSDPA modem connects at 7.2 Mbps and costs me €9 a month! That goes over the mobile networks, and is years ahead of anything you've got. Period.
