I was reading somthing on Dr. Newtons Page. I believe it said that Digital
Ocean did have somthing to do with 802.11
BTW, Last time I looked he did have some Groupers still available for sale (you
need 2 to make a Network) I think about $50.00 ea.
If you had the cash and need it's a cool bit of Newton history to own.
