[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
This would work well to replace a link for people at home or maybe at some

it during class with my friends without the teacher yelling at me.
also you could probably get some kind of an amp on the line and make it go
many miles!.. of course this would be rather pointless..
anyway just an idea..
