Of course, this probably won't happen. Because it makes sense.
Ah, this reminds me of a Youtube that I was watching last year. It was some guy who videotaped his computer in the eighties, doing wild and exciting cutting-edge eighties-type computer bboard and dial-up things.
It was a blast from the past, up until the 10 minute mark when he went onto Sabre to get his cutting-edge eighties flying needs met.
It's identical to what I use every time I go into work.
