I'd say that it'd be less annoying if the keyboards pulled out, and didn't disturb the passenger in front. Plus-it's corny, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to place an entry message on the screen advising passengers to not physically get up and bug the other passengers if they decline. Other wise, I wish I were flying to one of the top 6 sexy cities so that I too could fly virgin and message the hell out of that plane- I think it's great, and people need to start realizing the utility of the program for when they get off the plane- find numbers, where you need to go, and any news on events that you are attending- who knows, you may be one of the few who finds things out ahead of time.
