Oh, so you have 1 room? Must be nice. I had 3 walls and a plastic tarp I time shares with a neighbor as a shower curtain, and had to tap out tcp-ip on an old telegraph machine. Got quit good, tapped out about 0.3 kb/m (kilobits per minute)

wow a telegraph? i had to shout one or zero to another guy half a block down.
Gosh I was so happy when they invented zero.
You had a guy down the block? All I had were pigeons and no redundancy. There were a lot of literally dropped packets.
