Yes, that's a good demonstration for technical people.
I tried to do this at a LUG with audience involved theatre, but then you did
it better at some Australian event.

But, I'm looking for terminology that I can use with my mother-in-law.
(She's just signed up with a 802.11 based rural provider for her cottage for
the summer.  Made financially feasible only because they'll let her cancel
for 6 months when it's winter.  I'm providing a modem.  I suspect that the
bandwidth is not-constant, so I wonder what I'll tell sql scripts...)
