Through Bars Scanning

I went to Radio Shack [1] to pick up a PS/2-AT keyboard adaptor. The Belkin Omni View [2] I got last week uses PS/2 connectors and I have a spare PC that uses the older AT style keyboard. The computer is not really doing anything at the moment so I figure I might want to install Plan-9 [3] from AT&T on it.

While I was at Radio Shack, I asked if they had a :Cue:Cat [4] I could have. It just so happened that that particular Radio Shack had one to give me.

When I got home I played around with it a bit under Linux. I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with the thing but as a diversion …
