    Will this bring back the good old days of the BBS? I remember way back when, in the late 80's and early 90's, calling up different boards with my Commodore 64, which I still have in it's original box...

  3. Range is one thing, performance another by MagerValp · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Admittedly it'd be cool to cover a huge area with one base station, but I'd really like to see some improvements to the transfer rates. Whoever came up with the 11 and 54 Mpbs numbers must have been smoking something - I don't think I've ever seen either go above 8 Mbps. OK, so high speeds are good marketing, but getting 1/10th of the promised performance is pretty lame.
