Re: [Palindrome] Update on the wireless situation

[Deborah Levinson <debby_levinson yahoo com>]

Ron Hoffmann, one of the people I know on the IS&T Network Team,
usually competes with Pturnips, though I don't know if he'll be there
this year. If he is, he would probably be willing to help us out with
the drop situation.

It is definitely worth bringing this up with Pturnips tonight, if any
of them will be at Eric's party.

I feel that I have only a rudimentary smattering 
of information, and most of it's wasted on words 
like "rudimentary" and "smattering."
