t: That's why having a tool like NetStumbler is useful. If you boys cruise up the Ashley River to look at the gardens, you'll find SSID W4CSC in the middle of the river bend just upstream from Magnolia Plantation & Gardens (http://www.magnoliaplantation.com/) about 400 yards upstream from the end of the no-wake zone that protects the plantation's riverbank. It's unprotected, 50' up my tree and runs 200mw so there's plenty of signal and bandwidth for all. Charleston City Marina, in the face of free internet with no restrictions from The Harborage at Ashley Marina next door, easily in range of city marina boats, gave up trying to boost revenues by selling internet and now provides free internet to anyone with a wifi transceiver by simply connecting. This goes along, also, with the City of Charleston's peninsula-wide new free internet system that provides a throttled 110Kbps wifi signal across the whole downtown area for anyone to use. The city sells more bandwidth for a small fee to help pay for it and have a lot of subscribers, locals like lawyers/doctors/business/real estate who buy the wideband service with such mobility. It's been quite successful and self supporting, I'm told. Charleston is quite wifi friendly. My Netgear SPH101 Skype phone worked at the tire dealer while I was waiting for them to replace the damned Bridgestone super tire that couldn't stand the terrible pressure at 32psi and bubbled the tread off the cord. That makes tire 3 with tread separation from Goodyear and Bridgestone in the last 6 months....another issue that needs fixing. We Charlestonians WOULD appreciate it if you brought a little cash with you and spent some while you're appreciating our free wifi hospitality, however...(c; Y'all come! Sit a spell! Have a Mint Julep on the veranda while the kids play on the jogglin' board. http://www.oldcharlestonjogglingboard.com/ Ship one home for later! http://www.charlestonfavorites.com/ |

I just built one for my grandchildren. Finding a serviceable clear 2x10 pine board was harder than finding old growth teak. They sell junk at the big box stores these days. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

"They give you those warped up sheets?", I asked him. He looked at me, oddly, looked at the plywood, whirled the cart around and headed back down in the direction of the plywood department. It was just awful what was on that cart! I wouldn't have used it to cover a mudhole in the yard...(c; -- http://www.epic.org/privacy/rfid/verichip.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VeriChip http://www.verichipcorp.com/ Tracked like a dog, every license/product/tax.
