But by then, its unlikely to affect you anyway.

lets not go there..... so do you think it will be ok?

e.g. Air NZ state:

Items with restricted use

The following may be used after take-off and before landing, when the seatbelt sign is off:

portable computers - provided no wireless communication connections are used, and the computer is powered by it's own battery
portable CD and DVD players with headphones
portable radios and televisions with headphones
hand-held electronic games
portable video recorders and cameras
portable electric typewriters
hand held calculators with printer
self-contained personal life support systems that use non-spill batteries, including nebulisers, monitors and similar may also be used when the passenger has prior medical clearance from Air New Zealand
But:
You should always check on the website of the airline you are travelling on however.

How many mictocontrollers does that new Airbus have? All over the plane; controlling flaps, engines, air conditioning, microwave oven, all communicating over a few control wires. Graham L (2)
