HP 9000 Series 360 Thin LAN

[Nigel Johnson]

You can also use RG174 to go between cracks in floor tiles as I did once 
in my apartment.  It was easier than cutting hole sin concrete to get 
where I wanted to go (well before wi-fi)

As a consultant said when he saw it, "I have heard of thin-net but that 
is ridiculous!

cheers,

NIgel
