Hey Andy-
I think I qualify for #1. I am more then interested in getting to
know a group of folks' interested in building a wireless network. I *may*
be able to get us onto a few rooftops here at the University of Minnesota.
I have a number of connections to the networking folks.... I am just a
student here, so everything is hobby for me. =)
Regards,
---Matthew Genelin---

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a
fire in the craft, it sank, proving one again that you can't
have your kayak and heat it, too.
