Possibly, according to the folks at EcoGeek.

You know, if they could find a way to make them self-sustaining (find a way to make solar cells lightweight enough to cover the skin of the craft, perhaps?), or at least easily-sustaining (i.e. an engine that runs on hydrogen gained from splitting apart water molecules), and good enough Internet coverage while in transit (probably from LEO -- low-earth orbit -- satellites)... then I could really go for something like one of those Aeroscraft models! ::G::

I do wish they had larger versions of the pictures, though.

okay, so I'm easily amused... and seem to be avoiding work this morning. ::G::

I've seen several World of Warcraft commercials, some considerably better than others. These two are pretty funny.

One my Mr. T, and one by William Shatner, both on YouTube.
