That's the first thing I thought of when I read of a private A380.

Is this from personal experience buying your own fleet of simulated

Where instead of a date and serial number, a "approximate download time"
is provided? G

That assumes that there's always something worth watching on television.
Usually, there isn't.


I even have a TiVO, and there STILL isn't much programming that
interests me. I'm not a TV sports fan, so about half of the potential
is eliminated. News and weather are much better obtained on the web. I
don't like sitcoms or game shows, and I don't shop on my TV.

Come to think of it, if I wasn't married, I wouldn't need TV at all.
The same goes for a land line phone.

I'm not surprised. You don't have to pay that much for TV, but if you
want to receive every premium channel available, $1500/ yr. is quite
doable.
I'm not sure what the lady would be complaining about, though. It's not
like
anyone is forcing her to subscribe to all of those premium channels.

The amount of money you can squander on various services (TV, mobile
phone,
etc...) is growing rapidly. I'm amazed at the amounts of money that my
friends tell me they spend on things like cell phone service. The base
prices don't sound too bad, but when you start adding in all of the extras
like messaging charges and mobile Internet access, the annual outlay
starts
to look ridiculous.

$1500 /yr. is slightly more than I pay for all of my
telecommunications/entertainment services combined. That includes TV,
home
phone, cell phone and high speed Internet.


Ah...the money people will spend to turn their brains into a scrambled mass
of jello!

The objective is probably to land wherever the aircraft will be see by the
most people, and most airports in that category could handle an A380.
