We've not done this for a while, so lets see a screenshot of what you're looking at. I call mine Krazy-Kraut and here it is. Linux and X Window Look ma! No crutches! No training wheels! Of course, Linux offers desktops of staggering complexity, but I prefer the spartan and the minimalistic. Here we see only three virtual terminals, and using these I can be much more productive than any GUI jockey in the world. Actually, this image represents only 1/4 of the total desktop real estate. Using X Window one can define areas up to 16x what is seen here, but I do not require such vastness. Try that with Micro$oft Windoze! |

I'm thinking Comet or Caravelle (or something starting with 'C' ) 4 seat cockpit with cup holders? I somehow doubt either of those two "C's" are likely candidates.

Well, it was the latest version of the Comet, in terms of a civil airliner

HI Peter,
Dave's on track with this one, it's a Comet 4 cockpit, based at the de Havilland Museum. Comment about the Caravell is interesting, as according to Wikipedia: "Sud's design licensed several fuselage features from de Havilland, a company Sud had dealings with for several earlier designs. The nose area and cockpit layout were both taken directly from the de Havilland Comet". Plus, of course, they both used Rolls Royce Avon engines. -- Moving things in still pictures FastStone - Infinitely Flexible Photographic Fixing - For Free! - www.FastStone.org |
