I made a query about this guy on another newsgroup and among other
|
|||
|
|
reponses.. received this one... no address however!
|
|||
|
|
If any one comes up with his address I'd appreciate hearing about it
|
|||
|
|
(he is probably reading this now!!!!)

In fact, we're his San Diego connection - he uses our satellite
|
|||
|
|
communications system as his Internet connection. That little white
|
|||
|
|
dome at the back of the bike (if they showed the bike) contains our
|
|||
|
|
little satellite dish. We hooked him up about a year or two, I
|
|||
|
|
believe. He can get messages from anywhere, and with the recent
|
|||
|
|
addition to America Online of an internet Gateway, there as well.
|
|||
|
|
Compuserve has had one for a long time, and plenty of other places.
|
|||
|
|
MCI mail, sprint mail, BIX, heck, you name it, except prodigy, and
|
|||
|
|
that's not a huge loss.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's slick as hell. Wherever he is in the US (or much of Europe, for
|
|||
|
|
that matter, but it's hard to bicycle across the ocean), he can just
|
|||
|
|
turn on the satellite link and he's hooked up, even if he's miles from
|
|||
|
|
a telephone line.
