  8. @henrikwagner73 you survived RyanAir then? :) 5:06 AM May 26th via Twitter for iPad in reply to henrikwagner73

  11. @rootwyrm as someone without an opinion either way in the debate, I can say you won it the moment that was tweeted. 12:19 PM May 25th via Twitter for iPad in reply to rootwyrm
  12. @rootwyrm True. It really wasn't a nice comment. Arrogant and just plain nasty. 12:15 PM May 25th via Twitter for iPad in reply to rootwyrm
  13. @MondoDan jealous. Venue sounds hellish though. Possibly appropriate mind. 12:13 PM May 25th via Twitter for iPad in reply to MondoDan
  14. @outofmykitchen @mikekiersey It is rather sad. Noticed they took an charge on the ever declining value of the Compaq brand too. 9:46 AM May 25th via web in reply to outofmykitchen
  15. But not surprising given what we now know of what goes on in the upper echelons of HP. 12:08 AM May 25th via Twitter for iPad
