Jeeeez! As I suspected, it is likely to affect all planes, not just MD-80's. In most of the newer aircraft the control signals to the hydraulics are relayed from the pilot through a digital system that more than likely has embedded chips.

Oh sure, you just had to hit on this city, interesting to note that Bell South Net places most of us in close proximity. Doesn't Bell South have a wider range? or is this a mind control thing also? If this is really the WWW, hows come I keep running into my neighbors? I fully expected to meet minds from another country, instead, I keep running into neighborhood information, DUH. I want Global.
