- 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.
