of, wired so what?
I must offer one more fascinating
tidbit (fact, not rhetoric) for you all to peruse and then I will bow
out.
I am in the process of moving my new business www.spatialtek.com to the University of
Idaho Research and Technology Park in Post Falls, Idaho. I recently had a
conversation with the person in charge of the network up there about the
connection available to me. It is on a T1 line ( or whatever) that
was connected into the UI net. NO longer. This
person was very frank in telling me that they have for the interim "gave up"
on the mess that was going on down here in Mosocow, and had for the benefit
and necessity of the companies in the research park ( www.UIRP.com) hired a ISP in Coeur d' alene to
provide connectivity. This was due to need, nothing to do with proximity. The
gist of the conversation was that "someday" they may be hooked back up to the
UI.
Need I say more? Thank you very much for your
input Rick. You know all of you fellows in the
"know" use these acronyms to impress us with you knowledge and I must say it
limits your connectivity to the population in general. If you would like to
open your expressivness up to the general population try not using all of
these 'T1line' and 'ISP in Coeur d' Alene' son that we understand you. I sense
you are in pain about some issues here at the University of Idaho and it has
spilled out to the general public to understand.......Good Luck in Post Falls,
Idaho. With all due respect;
