Ha!

I knew there was a reason Airbus was kicking Boeing's rear end in the commercial airliner market...

It's gotta be the PowerPCs!

FWIW, I recently flew on an Airbus from Denver to Phoenix. It wasn't a 380 (that would be silly), but it did have that same style of inflight enterntainment system with LCD screens on the back of every seat. There was also an interesting airspeed and altitude indicator and map. When we approached Phoenix, the map zoomed in to different levels of detail showing where the aircraft was with respect to local terrain and roads. It was pretty neat.

Peace,
Drew
