Compared to the LH C-class and TG AVOD systems, which sometimes seemed to behave slightly different from what I have expected, the BA AVOD was easy and straightforward to use without the need for any "how to?" guide. Despite this they had an extra AVOD support lady on board to help people with a system but I did not see her actually helping anyone--maybe there were only techies in WTP that day and she helped technophobic F and J pax the whole time?
I wonder if they will keep the screens clean? Or will they be covered in fingerprints after a few months?
And interesting when you think about the fact that the screens could all of the sudden become touch screens.
The bigger screens always have been touch screens. I have 'educated' numerous seat partners looking over my shoulder/the CW divide as I've tapped away to alter brightness/volume or navigated the pop-up menu....

If memory serves the screen themselves seems to be covered with hardened plastic flush with the case itself, unlike LCD screens on Laptop computers for example. So I imagine they can just be wiped clean with a napkin if needed.
( It is a pet hate of mine in meetings when showing things on screen - people touching my laptop screen....Argh! )

BUFman, how full was CW? Did you consider doing an onboard upgrade?
Was completely full, at least in rear CW cabin which leads me to believe that upstairs and in the front were full as well. Do onboard upgrades really work?
Hello there guys, torrow im flying on BA from jnb-lhr then lhr-jfk, any body know if it is coming down to JNB tonight or there is a chance I could catch her (first flight) to JFK tomorrow?
