That sounds rather defeatist. However, I note the winking smiley, so
perhaps you don't really mean it. Boeing now expects me to get all
excited about their so-called "Sonic Cruiser," which will travel at
just *under* Mach 1. Gee, so it will go *almost half* as fast as a
plane built nearly forty years ago? Color me not impressed.
