Airbus, with the exception of a very aircraft in the -100 family, were delivered with winglets, long before Boeing caught on and was able to offer them to the 737 and 757 family. From that alone, Boeing was behind the curve on reducing fuel consumption. Like I said earlier, you may want to read up on the facts before saying something you can't back up. As I said, Boeing is conservative. I consider safety much more important than fuel economy. Safety can not be weighed against fuel economy. Apples to oranges. Weigh the fuel economy of the B737 without the winglets and vortices to the A319/A320 with the winglets, then see how Boeing was behind, and finally caught up. Then I suggest you learn a bit more about computers, because they run a lot more things than you realize. I already know too much about them, which is why I worry. The people who recklessly put them into everything need to learn a lot more about how and why they fail. People who put them in already understand the pros and cons for what they are doing, and know when and when not to put them where they are. Until you decide to use them to your advantage instead of letting your fear and paranoia of them rule you, you will always look, feel, and appear to be ignorant. But if that is how you want to run your life, so be it. No bother to me. Oh, btw.. be sure to use the crank next time you start your car, and to take out the computer modules that help you start your engine.
