On the network only one calculator can send at one time (this was just
discussed in reference to only using one frequency). Since this is true,
each calc would only get a sliver of time to transmit on, at 35kb/s, which
effectively give each calculator 35kbs/# of calc MAX. Many people were
speaking of a huge network throughout the school, or a whole classroom. This
would definetely cause problems with bandwidth.
