I do not usually travel first class, so for me it is not free :) But
$15 is not too much.
In that flight it was quite reliable. I easily downloaded asymptote
source update, and then uploaded the binary back. I also did many up-
and downloads from my private version control server, read e-mails,
browsed the Web. Quite impressive. The latency was about 170 ms, no
lost packets.
The in-flight movies, on the other hand, get dumber and dumber.
Still, since they just buy Hollywood blockbusters, I guess this is a
comment on the quality of the movie industry.
