I'll tweet it for you. Just write your 120 characters and let me know.


No word yet on how the companion bit will be implemented exactly. It could go a lot of different ways. And I am going to start calling it EUA now.

LOL! It is funny to hear you wanting to help someone else tweet when just about two months ago you were Tweetless!

I really hope that this EUA works both ways with UA!! I think it will be great if it does!!

I always thought it was settle for an Acer, not want one. Is this not the case any more? They used to be quite cheap. :confused:

Their NetBooks are some of the best out there. And, yes, they are quite inexpensive. ;)

no idea where you got this from Acer has made quality computers for years now, I'd buy them before Dell anyday.

they also have a great worldwide warranty which many others don't offer.

Reality changes faster than perception (e.g. Hyundai) - my netbook, desktop, and large flatscreen monitor are all Acer ...

When I started my personal FM in 2007, it took about a month to get all of my data entered.

I already have the 800+ in my own FM right now. Even if I add only the 2009 flights, I'm already at 104 real segments. That'll take a few hours to add. :D

I am really getting annoyed with the trend of our forum towards unfriendly, confrontational behavior. :mad:

Word of mouth, and from the internet of course. :D

I would conjecture that the companion on the same PNR as the elite would clear at the the same window as the sponsor based on this: "Upgrades are non-transferable, but may be used to upgrade up to one companion traveling on the same reservation number as the eligible elite member, following the same guidelines."

Probably. But they could also go the CO route. Or CO could change.

Kinda like back in the day when Goldstar was perceived as doodoo, and it was, but it took a rebranding to LG for people to truly come around and think there was some quality in the product.

acer had its days in the dumper, thats for sure!

Sadly we predicted this was going to happen as we approached this date.

Speaking of :rolleyes: threads. People are still finding the foot on bulkhead thread. At least 4 clicks a day on the photo from FT

The crowd of instigators don't seem to be helping much either. :(

Exactly, and I've been around computers for 25 some odd years, so I guess that explains my outdated impressions! :D
