Gotta agree with that.

Then you ask your boss to get it installed. Can you _really_ demonstrate
a need for 'flight simulator' in your job? I don't think so.

Remember mister bean-counter, we don't allow personal computers into the
building for security reasons. Didn't your "instructor" explain how auditors
want EVERYTHING tracked and so-called "paper trails" and "controlled" , or
were you playing some game on your laptop instead of listening to that too?

Your auditor would have a heart attack.

Other than the security aspect - you don't seem to understand that you
would be being paid to work, not wanking off imagining you are flying.
I can tell you wouldn't do a good job of that either - seems there are
rules you have to follow, both natures and the governments.
