I know! I live on a very busy highway, and listen to whole conversations
that truckers have over my computer speakers (really freaks out my
friends when they come over to play US Navy Fighters on my PC, hearing
someone say "There's a smokey waitin' for ya' just over that hill!" :-)
Wasn't the government talking about doing away with the FCC at one time?
Be pretty nice, if you ask me, all they seem to do is get in the way.
Anyway, that gives me an idea: How about once we get a wireless link
going, we get a multi-calc chat going. One calc could serve as the
server and take in the signals from the other calcs, along with an
encoded signature so that the server knows who's "saying" what, and then
the server sends it back out to the "client" calculators.
Just an idea. Probably quite stupid, and know that I think about it, off
topic.
