While we actually had a great experience with our flights home from the Florida vacation (much different than the flight cancellation and significant re-routing to get there), I did get an amusing opportunity. Apparently, the flight monitors at the Memphis Airport are managed by Microsoft Windows and when Internet Explorer crashes, it takes the system with it (as viewed in above photo). This monitor, as well as many others, were frozen due to an error in iexplore.exe that crashed it all. Now I fully understand that Microsoft Windows holds quite an extensive market portion compared to other operating systems and that there is not as much software available for the other more powerful, robust, and stable systems like Mac and Linux. However, I would hope that upon review of a "black box" from a crashed plane, it would not have a blue screen error or memory dump listed as the cause for all those fatalities.
