Landing. One of a gyroplanes pluses is it's ability to land and only
roll about twenty feet or less. Which to me is an important consideration
if you're wanting to use it to commute. True, top speed is 110 -120 mph.
but it can take wind gusts up to 30 knots without problems while in the air.

mph in IFR, why would you think a gyro is a reasonable choice?

Netscape does get rid of the single col layout. Instead it displays
in tiny tiny tiny fonts and links the same color as the background.
