[NJARC] Gripe of the day

[Sean O'Sullivan]

These days I want redundancy...

I want a hard copper line, a VOIP line, a good cell signal, a two-way, some 
local Wi-Fi, Skype, a dish, and maybe some cans and string.

And..I want street power, a UPS, a generator, a solar panel, and an inverter 
for the truck to power it all.

The key these days is redundancy.   Odds are good that something is going to 
work.

You just never know what might happen, and I just can't miss a minute of 
angry birds!
