[BC] Doing remotes in 2007

[Dana Puopolo]

A used laptop can be had for under 200 bucks. Sprint EVDO is 49 bucks a month.
So is Verizon's wireless Internet offering.
All I can say is that if things are that bad there......

Yeah, and for stations like mine.. a laptop, microphone and Sprint EVDO is
way too expensive and just out of the question. Buying a laptop is out of
the question and we can't get Sprint EVDO here.
