Note, also, that the red and white triangles beneath these fields are not simply decorative; they let you quickly delete or insert segments; your other segments are moved to the right or to the left as appropriate. (I wish united.com had this feature. 
)

Since the initial release, the CoMETS website has had nearly 1000 visits.

A couple of places for custom Shortcuts/URLS. SO for windows, I could set as an option, c:\programfiles\flying fish\ ???.exe
That way each person can add a couple handy launch buttons to comets.... I would use AA Timetables, Oneworld TimeTable, and Flying fish myself. I could even default to flytertalk.com launched with IE, as long as we can set them.

I am using CoMets to track my miles and find it to be really easy and straight forward. It is intuitive and gives you the information you want.
I had an opportunity to talk to Seatlefred at the Mileage Run seminar in Seattle on Saturday and let him know what a great free tool he has designed and shared with FTers.
Take a look at it if you haven't tried it.

I'm getting an odd error in the mileage calculation... it's consistently telling me I have 1,750 more redeemable miles than I actually should. I've deleted all the itineraries and put them back in from scratch, with the exact same difference in mileage!

How many of you have had itineraries with more than 16 segments?
(How long before someone starts the Most Segments in an Itinerary thread?)
2. No ETA yet.
