| − | With the MetroFi free wireless plan fizzling in June '08, the [http://personaltelco.net Personal Telco] group's approach -- building a free wireless network for Portland, one neighbor at a time -- may be poised to take over. But as of yet, we don't have any Personal Telco wireless nodes in South Tabor. Willing to share your Internet connection? Get involved! It's not too hard to do, or expensive, and it can be done in a way that doesn't open up security threats. See [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ptab=2&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=109552172868034756592.00044718ea55e1b6a9216&ll=45.500211,-122.595577&spn=0.031102,0.074844&z=14 this Google Map] for nodes in or near South Tabor -- hopefully some more will be springing up soon! -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] 14:07, 22 June 2008 (PDT)
