I agree that you're probably right. However, if it does slip through, I plan on using it for my commercial and CFI-II tickets. Who knows, I may even go off the deep end and shoot for an A&P... hmmm.

I guess if the winner writes history, then GB can spell it however they want after the victory!?!?!?

Still have the trusty VOR and NDB. Glad those haven't gone away yet...

Just wondering what standards they have? Norton DiskWipe (if set to run 7 passes of 1's and 7 of 0's) meets NSA standards. I wouldn't think there would be companies that require a higher standard to assure data destruction.

We're curious out here... how did you do?

Kent, Much thanks. Don't tell anybody, but I probably learned something new here.

I appreciate the update. Like I said, I'm not an i-user so can't talk about them other than what I've heard second hand. One thing I am curious about is day light viewing. My tablet really sucks in direct sunlight. I've heard that the Kindle is good in direct light, but still this is second...
