Last May I brought back 5 pounds of primo coffee beans from Laos (Phong Kham to be exact).. They harvest it there and roast it there, and its by far the best coffee I've ever had. You can actually buy it now through the non-profit I worked for there, called the jhai foundation. (www.jhai.org) We are setting up a wireless network between the village and a tree top and a small town. The PC is powered by a bicycle charging 2 6v deep charge batteries wired in line. Next time I go back, (to finish setting up the network) Ill be sure to bring more back :) - -Mark Thus spake Tina Manley (images@InfoAve.Net): > At 04:33 PM 9/25/2003 -0700, you wrote: > >It was a remarkable blend of bright, hard working engineers from many > >different countries.
