[wellylug] K12 Project

[Lloyd]

Hey

As good an idea as this sounds, remeber a 500k cable is only 128k
upstream, I'm guessing most graphics applications would not be at all
usable at this speed?

I think it would be better to put up some information about the project on
the wlug website and offer free demonstrations. Make a few boot disks take
a server and place it on the school lan, boot the school machines off the
disks and show them it working on their home turf...

just my 2c
