Things have moved on since the computer flew a DC10 into Mt Erebus 25 years ago tomorrow. library.christchurch.org.nz in NZ's second most fatal disaster [Napier earthquake in 1931 had one more person killed but involved no computers] I'm sure that flying superconductor levitated 500 kph vehicles wouldn't bump into each other. Computers are much better these days. <that is so assuring... nothing can go wrong..go worng..go wgrno. <g> > The great thing is that flying at a few centimetres altitude doesn't leave far to fall even if the computers do go on the blink.
