[Fose] FOSE 2010 (long)

[David A. Cafaro]

Quick note on the Internet front, I have a wireless bridge that I can  
bring which would turn one of those wireless connections into a  
wireless connection terminating in a 4 port  switch.

Might be helpful with demos and such (assuming they aren't limiting by  
dhcp IP address assigned, that would make it a tad more complicated..)

Cheers,
David
