"Control, everything's fine... wait... all our instruments have turned into... blue screens!"

Heh, that would be funny, but in a terrible and deadly sort of way

Maybe the movie was a Scifi show about computers having problems???

What a great marketing slogan. "Windows -- funny, but in a terrible and deadly sort of way."

Lol, that's funny:

"AA Flight 244, please descend to FL320"

"Uh, hold on, we're going to have to reboot the elevators."

Windows: Where do you want to crash today?

Posted by: DavesBrain at September 17, 2006 12:38 PM

Wait, I know, it was a reality TV show starring Windows CE technicians...

Posted by: David at September 17, 2006 04:15 PM

That is probably more entertaining than what the screen was supposed to show...

"Windows- We crash when you least expect it."

Not really... Windows crashes al the time, so you always expect it.

ps can you use html in posts?

On newer airplanes now, there are two computers: one for the pilots to control (controls plane) and one for the movies on planes, so that if the not-rigorously-tested movie computer dies, the plane won't crash. They test the plane computers a lot, though.

The in-flight entertainment on Air New Zealand is soooooo boring!

Posted by: aynne at September 27, 2006 03:46 PM

hey I'm a new Zealander although i haven't seen what they have in the way of movies etc. BTW inst windows CE for palmtops etc not desktop or whatever it uses to play/select the movies? Either way its still broken seeing a boot loader screen at 30,000 odd feet (a little over 9000 meters being metric and all). they should have a separate monitor that shows stuff like the boot screen etc and have a second monitor that shows the movie
