Subject: RE: watching films on arplanes
On the few planes trips I've taken with the kids I always put something on
the laptop - "Lady and the Tramp", "Lion King", etc. The battery lasts SO
much longer if you rip the movies to the harddisk than if you play them off
the built in DVD player.
I always invite the kids near us to watch as well: I get to read in quiet,
my wife gets to meet and talk with other moms and some kids get distracted
for a coupla hours.

I sat next to a guy on a flight from Chicago to San Antonio who pulled
out a laptop and started watching "Topsy-Turvy". After a few minutes,
he asked if I'd like to watch (I wasn't craning my neck or anything, I'd
seen it numerous times). Seeing as I had a choice of reading that
godawful in-flight magazine or watching the movie, I accepted. He had a
headphone splitter and another set of (nice) phones in his bag. Nice
guy. Good movie.
