I bought a smaller 64mb version on the Internet for £17 I think it was. My primary use for it was to transfer MP3s from my laptop to my main PC, since this is the computer with the CD Rewriter on it.

It’s a great value device and something I would recommend to anybody. In the long run, it works out cheaper than dreadfully big, tiny capacity floppy disks.

Ouch.. it hurts my eyes. Not a great colour scheme, the colours are blinding.

However, didn’t this airline used to have a dreadful colour scheme? If it’s the same one I’m thinking of, it’s a mild improvement! 😀

But what’s the point to the 7E7? That’s if there is any point. It looks slightly different and may be a fraction more economical, but statistically, it’s just another 757 or 767 aircraft and there are too many of these available on the market now, what with Airbus’ A330 as well. It’s one project that I do not believe will be a success and the money could be spent more wisely on other or existing projects.

I saw a fantastic photograph in the Thai newspaper, “The Nation” whilst I was away. It had a man on the river, fishing. In the background, a big ship sails past with an Air France Concorde on top of it – looked great. I did cut it out and bring it home, so I’ll try and find it and get it scanned in.

Shame to see a wasted Concorde there.

The 7E7 project should just be abolished. Be doing this, it benfits the Boeing company in a few ways – saving them a great deal of money, which can be put towards developing other aircraft. The 777 has turned into a long, extended range aircraft in recent years (777-300ER), but the 747 hasn’t done much. The money saved could be put towards improving the 747 so that it can travel further, faster with more people on board – perhaps by extending the entire top deck, making it look much like the A380.

By putting a stop to the 7E7, the very similar 757 which is supposedly being stopped, could just continue to be manufactured.

The 747 may not be selling these days, but surely this is because it’s not been developed for years now. A new, improved model needs to be created to appeal to airlines in this ever-changing, technological world. The company and it’s products have serious potential, they obviously don’t realise it.

They were selling these on my Thai flight to Bangkok. They did not have the brand of model in the catalogue, but they were scaled 1:400 “die-cast” models priced at $18US.

Nice collection, Andrew.

It’s sick and obviously these kids don’t understand what the purpose of the cemetery is and don’t know what the people done who are buried there.

Some really strange sounding ones like Uzbekistan Airways (having read some really funny reviews about them) and Aeroflot.. very cheap to fly with but not the greatest airline I understand?

Also, a little less odd, Virgin Atlantic. Never tried them before since they do not fly to the destinations I want to go to, but will hopefully sample their services soon.
