I'm sure this gets asked alot, but as a recent laptop purchaser about to
go on their very first cross-continental business trip with laptop in tow,
I'd appreciate some info on airplane travel with a laptop.  Mine is a 
TI LT286/12, if that makes a difference.  In particular, I have read and
been told that many airlines discourage computer use while in flight, as
they apparently interfere with comunications or some such thing. Granted,
as a physicist who's on occasion played with EMP calculations, this 
sets me to wondering, but that's a discussion for some other newgroup :-).
Any helpon rules and regs is much appreciated--I'm leaving Saturday the 15th
of June.

Oh, and by the way, if $999.99 is a good price for the TI LT286/12 
(6.6 lb 286 based 12MHz system with 20MByte harddisk and 3.5" floppy, 
miscellaneous cables and battery pack), 
BizMart has restocked.  This is in reference to my confused TI 
TravelMate 2000 posting of a couple of weeks ago. If any of you who 
contacted me are interested in the LT286 (good price, no idea if GREAT price)
send e-mail, and I'll get you the phone and fax number... 

Thanks a lot!
