Next to him, I reach into my bag, slide the Acer Aspire S7 out of its beige felt case, and get to work. He pulls out a mouse next to it, and after about five minutes of wrangling finally finds space for everything on his tray table. An HP laptop, black, I can't tell what model. I’m next to a large man in a pink shirt and tortoiseshell Ray-Ban glasses, who could barely wait until 10,000 feet to reach underneath his seat and pull out his laptop.
I'm at 38,000 feet, in seat 20B on a Delta flight from San Francisco to New York City.
