I think that "/Applications/TextEdit" should be sufficient, but I would want to try it first. At some point you'll have to enter the password, I'm not sure how that would work here.

That would require using the open command.

open /Applications/TextEdit.app/

Or, in Mackieman's case:

sudo -b open /Applications/TextEdit.app/ /private/etc/hosts

I suppose that's a little less typing for the end user...

Multiple 787s in the air at the same time.

Apparently, a 3rd one is supposed to join them later this afternoon.

This one time, the FA moved around about 5 different people, because a large family had seats all over the place. :rolleyes:

Agree about that. I just would want younger children to be seated with an adult.

NO LAUGHING ALLOWED - but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open the battery door .....:(

If you have any questions I may (no guarantees;)) be able to answer them. First thing I would recommend is downloading the free versions of "Advanced Task Killer", "BatteryTime Lite" and "Magic 8 Ball"(:D) from the market. I periodically open Task Killer to kill the applications a few times a day. Droid doesn't close apps so having them all open affects battery life. Second thing I would do is order an extra power cord or two. It's not the standard USB cable.

If you are interested in tethering, pdaNet is a free(http only) app that you can install to access teh interwebs via 3G on your laptop. If you want https, it's $30. I think I'm going to fork over the $30 since I'm not a plat anywhere:o so I have to pay for internet and it'll pay for itself in "2 nights".

Flightstats Lite is also handy. Just go to the Market, click on "Free" and see the top apps, there are some cool things available for free.

Kid in the seat lady sounds like someone who would :rolleyes: at my signature line.

Clearly I need to spend more time in the OS/X terminal app. :o:D:rolleyes:

What! You mean she didn't pop out and surprise you? You were jipped. I'd complain if I were you. Demand compensation.

I am already panicking at the thought of using this phone. Really, I'm a simple soul. All I want is:

(1) to be able to make/receive phone calls
(2) to be able to get my emails sent to my phone automatically
(3) to be able to get onto the internet quickly and with a clear screen
(4) to be able to sync to my outlook calendar and contacts (not exchange server)


I am googling stuff and it seems like I need to buy an application to be able to sync to my outlook? Is that right?

You can bet your sweet bottom, that is exactly what I shall demand.
D@MN VS. Promises that are not met-grrrrrrrrr

It can sync to your Gmail and Google calendar

I don't think she was really saying she was "entitled", I think she was just tired and stressed and unhappy about having a miserable traveling experience with two children. It also sounds as though she is not a veteran traveler and so was unprepared.

I give her the benefit of the doubt and offer her a little compassion for her situation.
