Here is a note for you tablet PC guys=85.  If you plain to fly above

10,000 ft msl then you are going to need a solid state =91hard drive=92. 

 I

have experienced many hard drive failures before we figured out what the

problem was.  Come to find out when the air gets thin you don=92t have

enough air cushion to keep the hard drive head off the memory platters.

When the head hits the platter the drive fails.  We had to convert all

of our on board pc=92s to solid state drives.  This was very expensive 

and

you only get limited amount of space, so say goodbye to all those music

files.

Good find for those who fly at 14,500 and lower...  Still to low for me...
