Pretty close Allan, but mountains, sheep and mountains! Cheers, Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: Allan Sindelar To: 'RE-wrenches' Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Seasonal Adjusters
Yeah, Travis, there are "excuses", dude. In the current issue of the Economist there's an article about wireless vs. wire-based telephone service. The US is only ranked 15th among developed nations in cellular coverage. I believe it's the same with internet. Private enterprise at work, dude, for better and worse. We can't all afford satellite (at $70/month?) if we haven't been served with good wired or wireless coverage. And after posting this short rant about cellular and wireless service in the US, I will note that Bruce Geddes is in Motueka, New Zealand. More power to Wrenches who don't live in LA and still read our posts!! Bruce is somewhere on the other side of the planet, likely surrounded by sheep, mountains, and sheep. Peace, brother, Allan (who pays $30/month for great high-speed internet through a community-based nonprofit high-speed wireless cooperative (www.lcwireless.org - check out the home page - hooray for nonprofit anarchy!) using two PV-powered access points (repeaters) I installed to bring it the 12 or so miles up into our neck of off-grid mountains well south of Santa Fe).
