>The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards,
>easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off.  After

>Windows NT Air

>Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes,
>and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius

>Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to
>start their own airline.  They build the planes, ticket counters,
>and pave the runways themselves.  They charge a small fee to
>cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download
>and print the ticket yourself.  When you board the plane, you
>are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the
>seat-HOWTO.html.  Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is
>very comfortable, the plan leaves and arrives on time without
>a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful.  You try to
>tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but
>all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"
