Dave West,

 

I enjoyed our conversation today a LOT. 

 

Just another thought on the group discussion idea.  Once could simply send a message out to the relevant people saying, “I want to get you guys together in a group; what would it take?”  And see what happens. 

 

I would have a hard time not inviting Frank, if I were, in any sense, a host of the group.

All I know is that it sucks ass to do anything requiring internet here in NM.

One one hand LOVE the Village feel

On the other hand:

When I need to get

-Bug fixes for anything on my computer

-Want to listen to some awsome music

or basically do ANYTHING network related like having fun exploring VERY VERY Beutiful down town santa fe is a unexcusablly flaky Pile of Targh food

TO THE NETHER WITH THAT!

I WANT THE INTERNET AND SCIENCE HERE TO WAKE UP!!

By Kahless who SANE wants that stuff to take all day?

I worry that 5G will take is from bad (Comcast) to an even worse monopolistic situation.   But technically the conversation shouldn’t just be about wires.
