Most all the cafes are booming in biz because of it and oddly many social interactions have been happening because of and augmented by the wifi. There are several down here where this is seen in spades, the place we hold out monthly meetings in fact has now become a focal point for several communities of folks who are very social. Sounds like you guys need to lay off the Evercrack and talk to the people around, heck aside from zeroconf its the best way I find to bump into new sounds. Hope things get better for yall up there, there is always a trip south if you need. -tomhiggins _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk
