A story in Business Weekexamines the issues of the weight of an A380. The A380 diet program includes lowering the weight of the on board furnishings, the in flight entertainment control boxes and the food service carts.

Slots on the aircraft, slots in the airport, slots in the taxis,......you would get to your hotel and find that you had run out of money!

As far as I know, bits don't cost too much, so why not put buns' gambling onto the IFE. An extra gig of disk space won't weight too much if he wants to lose his money that way...

This electronic stuff misses the fun of pulling a handle and hearing all those coins drop into the tray[:o)].

For the record - I always have a predetermined budget for the "fun" element when visiting Las Vegas
