Here in Fargo, I am guessing we will be taking our Wi-Fi on the ground, with a hot and delicious beverage.  But others may be taking to the skies.  So, enjoy this bit of news from our friends at American Airlines: AMERICAN AIRLINES ANNOUNCES DOMESTIC EXPANSION OF AIRCELL’S GOGO INFLIGHT INTERNET SERVICE

When I arrived in Eastern Standard Time a couple of weeks ago, I took note that my Blackberry didn’t adjust itself to the new time zone. Easy fix. I was glad to help out a handheld.
