GA costly? Try TV...

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

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.

It just occurred to me that whoever this guy is, he most likely
already has a smaller plane when he has to go slumming somewhere
where an A380 won't fit.

Like a 777 or something.

Maybe he can hang a Dassault Falcon or Gulfstream under the A380 wing,
X15 style! G

$300 million bucks.

Some oil Sheik presumably, but I wonder if he's aware that there's
not a lot of places that puppy can land.

Watch what happens when he tries to fly it to America. At least he won't
have to come to the States to learn how to fly it.

I was reading an article complaining about Comcast service, linked from
Slashdot. The lady who was complaining in her blog revealed how much she
pays for TV... once you subtract her internet service, it's over $1500 a
year. $1500 a year for *TV*! No wonder no one can afford GA any more.
That's enough to pay for an annual on the ancient aircraft I own!

I'm absolutely staggered that anyone can even consider paying that much
for TV, but then again, I'm not everyone :-)

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!

It just got worse. I was listening to a radio news report yesterday
about the new iPhone. Apparently, you can spend $200/mo. just on
connectivity and services.

The bar has been raised.
