Gordon,
] yet. Nsf is spending $10 million a year on the 2 RA coop
] agreements....right? seems like they should be getting something more
] useful for the money than so far has been the case.
Yesterday I wandered into Radio Shack in my festive holiday
wanderings, and happened upon a small man wearing a name tag that
said "Bud".
I asked Bud, "Bud, will your I/R to RF transcievers send data at
greater than 2.4kps?".
"No", replied Bud.
"And will your I/R to RF transcievers send data bidirectionally?"
I asked Bud.
"No", replied Bud.
And while no money changed hands, I would gladly have paid to
learn that this was technology I could not use.
