  MSFS question

I have a new widescreen monitor. Is it possible in any of the recent
MS flightsim setups to park the radio stack off to the side instead of
on top of the Course Deviation Indicators?

  Runway 14/32 @ KBOS

There was a little press on the boob tube during the week of
Thanksgiving as the first operation was scheduled for Thanksgiving Day
(I imagine there's at least a joke or 3 in there ;)

Has anyone here used it yet?

It's been a few weeks since I've taken any flights out of Logan. I
guess time will as to how delays are affected, on days when it's being
used. But I would think that by moving the lighter craft off the
runway(s) being used by the bigger craft, more tin be pushed per unit
time as the wake turbulence is not hindering performance as much?

diproved by the internet.

Some of the stupidest reasoning that I have ever heard, which is going some
for Usenet. Look, you can argue about whether the security measures are
effective or necessary. But to suggest that they should in place only when
they are on "official biz" is utterly ridiculous. Terrorists and assassins
work 'round the clock. They do not only strike when Presidents and Vice
Presidents are on "official biz."

No doubt if your favorite politician was assassinated while visiting his Aunt
Mathilda in Hoople, North Dakota, you would be outraged if he normally had a
security detail but, because he was not on the job, the detail was back in
DC.
