Well, the good news about this plane trip is that I had a project to do that killed most of the travel time: updating the intro course for VisualWorks to VW 7.4. In the prior release, we moved packages into the base, which makes the beginning view of the product different: Instead of seeing categories in the left pane of the browser, you see packages and bundles. I've updated the materials to reflect that.

Next, I'm going to have the online tutorial materials sent to me, so that I can do the same updates to that stuff.
