Tom thanks for the heads up I try to bring one of mine incase. There
are two ports in the room but I like to use one for wireless and one
for the streaming, which leaves none for poeple who have not figured
out wireless.

Well in the room the ipaddresses are public so it is possable to have
the computer available to the world but it is up to Solomon if he
trust the world as much as he trusts the people in the room. So
everyone knows the ap I usally bring is a dumb AP and just bridges the
wired side to wireless.
