I really like the idea of getting together and sharing tips/tricks/techniques. (Seattle Wireless calls them "HackNights." PersonalTelco calls them "Installfests", "Newbie Workshops", and "play days.") I've always found that a whole'lot more learning goes on at these get-togethers. -- Eric P., Sunnyvale, CA _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
