am at George Bush Intercontinental Airport typing on what must be the worst placed public net terminal not actually located inside a latrine. (it is at the end of a row of seating angled in such a way that the only way to get at the kyeboard is to loop an arm around the back of the last chair and twist your torso at a weird angle to see the screen.) my ticket went through without a hitch. I will fly to Dallas from here, then on to Newark, where I will get a car or taxi and be driven home.

airport massage chairs are a gift from God.

Not nearly as bad as that, but the weirdest airport internet terminals I've seen are the ones in Zurich, which accept coins but not credit cards! Talk about an incongruous mixture of 21st century and 19th century tech. I had to change some money to get SwissFranc coins to get on the 'net, and still have some of the leftover coins. You'd think anyone who's interested in using the 'net has a credit card, while many people transiting an international airport will not have any local currency, especially coins.
