RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Will @home keep going?

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'm a heavy addict. An example.. this morning I was cutting firewood for a
neighbor that broke his leg (his home is heated mainly by wood so it's
important) and walking around in the middle of nowhere with a chainsaw I
was taking breaks to check my email, check the news, and bid on items on
EBay. All made possible by the nice little web interface on my cellphone.

It usda be that if you took me away from my Net connection I'd feel sort
of helpless and unable to act on anything. I'd suffer withdrawl symptoms.
I kind of cured myself of that but I'm still a very heavy addict.

Now if only my digital camera could plug into my cellphones data jack to
let me email photos back to my server whenever the camera got full I'd be
a happy camper. :)
