Almonds!
I just flew from Duluth to MSP on my way to DCA. We were offered a number of snack choices including roasted almonds! A small, but welcome change.

If almonds are now available, can cashews be far behind! Hooray!

Why would you want almonds, cashews, caviar, smoked salmon, etc when you can have....
SPINZELS!

There were spinzels, almonds and something else that I didn't notice. So we had a choice of 3 snacks on a 30 minute flight! I'm sitting at gate C3 in MSP right now, connected up via the wireless network in MSP, waiting for the next leg of the flight. We'll see if the 2 hour flight to DCA offers as many choices.

How does the wireless network work in MSP? Can any laptop with the 802.11b wifi card tap into the netwrok freely? Or is there special access / charges involved?

You need an 802.11b (Wi-fi) card and you are all set to go. I don't know where all the hotspots are, but there is good reception the retail shop area, gates C1-C10 and all the other concourses. Just plug in your card, turn on your laptop and launch a browser. You will automatically receive a sign-on end-user-license agreement asking you to agree and provide your CC number for $7.95.

Ahem. Moon Moon is a she.

Moon Moon probably thought of almonds, naturally assumed that almond cans would make fine hi-gain antennas, and naturally transitioned his thinking to 802.11b. That is my guess anyway.
