A Story :-)

A helicopter was flying around Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfuntion disabled
all of the aircraft electronic navigational and communications equipment. Due to the
clounds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopters position and course to
steer to the airport.

The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held
it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said " Where am I " in large letters.

People in the building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in
the building window. Thier sign said " You are in a Helicopter ".

The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, and determined his course to steer to
SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the " You are in a
Helicopter " sign helped determine thier position.

The pilot responded " I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building because,
similar to thier help line's they gave me Technically correct but completely useless
answer". :-)
