Very interesing article written back in 1994. Certainly helps me to understand the technology involved. So, did Nick have a little spiderweb system of his own?
I'm still looking for the 'silver wires' story. All I have found so far is that silver wires are a conducting medium. Not being an electrical buff\engineer, it's hard to follow to say the least. I have this mental picture of Nick climbing towers at night with a camera, a laptop and a lot of silver wires...the question remains ( if my tinfoil hat fits) what was he trying to achieve?
I'm not sure what 'silver wires' story you're talking about. What was the gist of it and where did you see it?
BTW, I may not be back to continue this conversation until tomorrow.
