802.11-geek Alert

I just had to g0ogle to find out what the heck the wifi channel situation was. This dude's drawing seemed to be out on the boards, though it's wifi b not g, I'm sure it works somewhat the same despite any bandwidth issues.

802.11b channels granted this is b but i am sure g works similarly. 1, 6, 11 do not overlap each other. snarged from teh internets http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/338225~e4d474791b2210586b4ae02cd1f62402/80211bchannels.gif

Regarding RE:

RE: is one of those commonly used letter combinations (like SIC) that people tend to make up their own meanings for.

RE: is used at the top of letters and emails in order to steer the reader to the single most important topic of the message:

Dear Sir,
RE: Your order of 10/3/09

RE: Your submission For Whom the Bell Tolls

I’ve seen RE: explained as an abbreviation of the words “regarding” or “referencing.”

However, for those of you who care about such etymological matters, RE: means “re.”

Re is an English preposition in use since at least the 18th century. It means “in the matter of, with reference to.”

Like sic, re is a Latin word. It is the ablative form of the Latin noun res meaning “thing” or “affair.” Lawyers use the legal phrase in re when a proceeding is not brought by a person, but has to do with something like probate, or a public project like laying out a highway.

NOTE: Watch out for the definition "in regards to" given at Wiki Answers.
“In regards” is nonstandard English for in regard to.

Mail Recovery Centers / Undead letter offices

Mail used to be one of my favorite things in the world. I was always excited to see what might be in the mailbox today: a letter from one of my many correspondents, a magazine, a check, photos I'd sent out for processing, a gift from a friend or relative, a catalog full of interesting things, or a package containing one of the interesting things I'd ordered from the catalog. Some days I got nothing, and many days I got only bills or junk mail. But the tiny thrill of finding something interesting in my mailbox was always something to look forward to.
