 That sounds like a lesson plan for a meeting :o) .... Pringle Antena making
for 802.11b's .... byo pringle cans. Hmm... need to start eating more
pringles.  'preciate your help... looking forward to meeting everyone, never
can have enough *nix friends... find that out at 2:30 in the morning when
you are still at work trying to scan your config files for one small error
that is causing hell to your programs.. not that I have had that problem ;o)
Anyone have an opinion on the 802.11g?  I was reading about it earlier...
speed is nice.. I would like to see the 802.11b have better speeds.
