Big ^ to the new WN.com - it's a lot nicer.

Wow! I hadn't been on their website to book anything recently. When did they release this update to their booking engine? It's MUCH improved.

Some of us find donuts to be disgusting, particularly the ones from Dunkin'.

Noted, thank you ^ :) ...the base fare for PHL-BHM seems to be $330 r/t on almost everyone right now. That is entirely unacceptable.

I don't know when it was released, but it's really purty.

Holy cow - I go away for an hour and there's 2 pages gone. None of y'all have real jobs? ;) I need a job where all I have to do is hang around the box. There's probably been at least 5 posts while I typed this reply.

What is "teh"? You aren't going to make me read through the last 5600+ pages, are you?

RE: My 53 Windows updates machine from earlier, after those were installed it wanted 13 more. But first I had to fix the updater so it would load them. It downloaded them all but went :rolleyes: because the automatic updater was already downloading them. I HATE WIND:rolleyes:WS!

Something that is always said to the new Box posters is that many of us have met and partied and flown mileage runs together. It's a pretty close group, and we all enjoy hanging out here to get away from the :rolleyes: in the rest of the forum. The Box often organizes its own events.

"Teh" comes from typing quickly and misspelling "the". We use it almost exclusively in place of "the" in here. And if you want to achieve true Box Denizen status, it is strongly suggested that you get to know the regulars and players by reading teh thread from teh beginning. :D
