The catless network. From New Frank Coluccio Technology Forum Thread: Thread-----Original Message----- From: Forest Baskett Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 8:12 PM To: NEA-Tech Team Subject: wireless network explanation from Einstein There is an organization in California's Sonoma county (excellent wine country) called Nocatnet (www.nocat.net) that helps organize and promote free 802.11 wireless networks. Why is it called the No Cat network? You might think that it's an Ethernet network with no Cat 3 or Cat 5 wires (the category of wires qualified to carry 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec, respectively). Here's the real reason: Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: interesting-people.org
