Jim donated the Wireless Access Point.  Wilson Chan spent the better 
part of a day helping to pull cable.  Jim and I terminated the cable. 
One of my friends from the Boys and Girls Club helped me to set up the 
computers.  Some photos are here

There has not yet been a need to throttle bandwidth.  It took about a 
year to get approval for this, and there were a lot meetings involved. 
One of the assurance we gave the C&C was that the bad sites would be 
blocked.  We are not in a position to be cavalier about this.  Members 
of our neighborhood board have pressed me on the issue.  DansGuardian 
and Squidguard are taking care of it through transparent proxying.  The 
K12LTSP makes this very easy.  Tim Newsham has offered to help keep an 
eye on things.

If we can do it, you can do it.
