Lol, you're welcome!
Some are reporting they're having no problems with them; but is seems the hard way to find out.

Thanks. Yes, this stomach bug is really bad. Never had to cope with the trots for more than 1 day before...this is now 3 and then I had nausea too...in the middle of my flight back...thanks God I made it to the loo in time, saved the embarrassment of using the sick bag in front of everyone! I was in 1st class too and had to forgo an excellent meal...a thousand curses.
The weather here can be rather chilly this time of year...we are used to it and well equipped. It's deceptive. Looking out of my windows I see glorious blue sunny skies. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware® ALX X58
