TransWorldOne, is Air Bucks a good game? I am facinated with the airline biz, is this simulation game worthwhile? (I like Railroad Tycoon although I never have time to play)

I usually read novels or biographies, I bring 3 or 4 books and some magazines. I can't stand being short of things to read.
I see other people with laptops and they usually are playing solitaire or doing their expense reports. I dunno, I like to think and ponder and read on a plane, I don't like to work on my laptop unless I absolutely have a certain project that must get finished.
There is a great suite of freeware games at www.wildcards.com, I like their bridge program and sometimes will play that a bit on the laptop if I have it out...

I'm a sucker for sims. Civilization, Allied General, Railroad Tycoon, etc. Scrabble, Risk and Monopoly are favorite versions of board games.
Hearts and Freecell that come standard with Windows are nice quickies to kill 15-20 mins.
Believe it or not, mostly I work on Little League stuff, such as a rule casebook, alternatives to current policies, etc. Every year I bring up about 40-50 new ideas to the table. A good 75% of them get shot down, but some of them work out exceedingly well.
