??? The black boxes are not about tracking where the panes are. They record data about what the plane was doing, and cockpit conversations. That data and those conversations can lead to an understanding of what went wrong in the event of an accident.

No matter how much these new solutions cost, surely they are less expensive than the price of an airliner + its passengers. This makes no sense to me. -- Arthur _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
