+CacheCows Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 While hunting a cache in the primordal woods, just you, nature, and a few billion in satellites to guide you, you come across another cacher... "Hey, did you hear about the new cache that went up today?" "No, where is it?" "Here, I'll beam it to you!" You both whip out your PDAs, and he instantly IR beams the cache page to you... and neither one of you realize how out of place and extrodinary this transaction was... Member: Quote Link to comment
teamwsmf Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Yep, and its a wonderfull thing. Its cool we can advacne communications past those methods we know best. Humans do nothing if not play with communication. Having the Palm Pilot in the mix with all the goodness of my areas caches at my pentip has ment I dont need to print out page after page from this site and I can beam stuff to fellow cachers at will.

+Macro Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 ...you had to make a seperate folder on your hard drive for geocaching documents, and then a folder for geocaching internet links. And of course you just love your 21" monitor so you can have the chat room open, the forums open, and the main page open...so you can respond to threads, chat in realtime, and search for your next cache hunt at the same time. And you do this at 3AM. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, but are you a mile away from your internet connection using a homebrewed Yagi antenna talking to your 802.11 access point? http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/448 -E -- N35°32.981 W98°34.631 Quote Link to comment
