Terminals use different ports and use clients to connect.
For the love of everything good, please stop hitting reply all.

Thanks. I was wondering what that mess was all about.

You are essentially logging into another computer which is on the local network at YIP.

So for those of you who still use MISA they want you to go into your parallels app and change the server address to what they sent over the email.

I have done it already and it works just fine.

TIP YOUR EFFIN' VAN DRIVERS!!!!

I also think you should tip your hotel maids. I typically only have them clean the room after I have gone (so they only do it once) and leave $5 USD or the foreign equivalent.

I left a $20 on the nightstand in CVG for the mess I made in the bathroom. I ate 2 of those little personal pizzas and barely got back to my room in time. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hyatt management gets involved, I should’ve left $40. Thank goodness they think I’m still with Atlas.

I did a stint in hotel front desk work before flying, and many people don't know that the guest profiles include a "notes" section that follows you around (within brand). It's usually innocuous stuff like allergies, specific preferences, etc. But sometimes you'll see notes like "expect complaints for freebies" or details of past encounters. Smoking in NS rooms, and so on. So, being nice does actually follow you around. So does being a Richard Cranium. Behave yourself accordingly.
