It also makes new users sketchy about showing up to a meeting... they wonder
if it is going to be informative or if it will be a pissing contest... if it
be the second I am afraid I am not equiped as well as others on this list to
participate. :o)  I would however very much enjoy finding more resourses
around here for knowledge... I work a lot on Linux (my job) and am looking
for people I can ask questions or share problems with...  on a side note
does someone actually have the Yuban(or pringle can) antenna working on
their 802.11b?  That I find very interesting ~ more range on my network
would be great !
