[plug] OT - Internet access I am stumped

[Daniel Pearson]

Yeh, as other people suggested - a wireless connection with someone in Canning 
Vale, with a antenna setup to give it to the school (yes, I know which school 
it is ;)

If you're interested in discussing further, contact me offlist for my details 
and we can arrange a time.

Cheers,
Daniel
