Well he did say "new wisp" Maybe they put a DD-WRT router in Tupperware on the roof with a Pringles can yagi. Or they think it's smart to run wifi with a WDS mesh. Every customer is a POP and grows my network....so easy! Or they said "up to 200Mb" and actually delivered 5Mb Or the whole thing runs on a cable modem in his mom's basement
....or any number of other dumb ideas people thought were smart when they too were a "new wisp". I bet we can all think up a huge list of dumb things we've seen, heard, or maybe done ourselves. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2023 3:27 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Shadenfreude Why did they come back?
