This is from an information E-mail I receive on a regular basis:
"Other than knowing the differences among window, aisle, and bulkhead seats, most people have no clue as to whether one spot on a plane is better for them than any other. But now there are two websites that list the major carriers and the aircraft they use (e.g., DC10, 737, etc.) - and comment on the best and worst seats in each type of configuration. Some of their ratings are based on obscure criteria that you can't determine from a seating diagram, such as annoying bright lights, bothersome movie screens, small windows, etc."
See http://seatguru.com/ and http://seatexpert.com/ for details.

It's Good to Know: 5 Things You Might Not Know You Can Do on Google
1. Enter "define" in the Google search box, then a colon, then a space, and then the word or expression you want defined. (Garnet note: I tried two obscure words, and it failed in both cases. However, the link provided for "Search the Web" for documents that contained the word readily provided definitions.)
2. Find out what Google thinks about just about anything or anyone (including you) at http://w.googlism.com/ (Garnet note: my own name yielded an impressive offering of information. I knew that a garnet was a gemstone, but I never knew that it came in every colour except blue. Nor did I know that it was known as the stone of commitment.)
3. Enter an airplane's tail number in the Google search box to find out the plane's service history.
4. Red Sox or Yankees? Heaven or hell? Pen or sword? Which one gets more Google hits? Find out this and much more at http://www.googlefight.com/
5. Enter a few key ingredients to get many recipes.
