AH at work
« on: July 30, 2010, 11:10:25 AM »
okay be honest who else has AH installed at work?

Can't, Were on Macs here at work...  :D
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I do... sort of.  I work from home and can switch between my work computer and my computer.  I'll log into the TA and sit in the tower to answer questions and such during coffee breaks, lunch. and the occasional redundant conference call. :)

I rarely actually fly during the day though.

It would be tricky for me given my job. But it's kind of like AH anyway. Fly for twenty minutes, drop the troops, (skydivers), none of them shouted 'Geronimo' though. Then swoop down, skim the hill beside the dropzone, strafe the packing shed and then vulch the troops who have just landed. Then a gentle pull up, shedding speed followed by a curved Spitfire type approach and short field landing. I then get lots of WTGs over the radio. Followed by points into my bank account so I can pay for AH. :aok

I have it installed at work and have an old saitek av8r 01 on my desk  :devil . I rarely use it though, every time I log into it it seems it needs to be updated to a current version. Its only for the rare quiet late afternoon when I'm holding the fort by myself untill closing time.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Work's nothing, who convinced their girlfriend to let them install it on her laptop?

Me :)

Last time I was at her place without my laptop, and she insisted on watching Twilight on DVD, I needed something to stay sane!

Then we moved offices and  my screen was on full view of the office  :mad:

Yep I do...mainly for testing things...I don't have a joystick here (keep forgetting to bring the spare from home)
Most of the time I am sitting in the BBS though.....and watch the odd film that gets posted...

It is lucky I do though as if I went full on at my job I'd have too much work and need to employ more guys....and too many employees is horrible.
