Wireless in the Himalayas

There are some interesting pictures about the wireless setup as well as of the country it is being installed in. However the picture that the above link points to is of a sign that has me wondering. Hand lettered and advertises a Cyber Cafe – that has an ATTACHED TOILED and is 100 mts. AHead. I am assuming that the toiled is a toilet but what is the mts.? Is that Meters? or Mountains? or neither?

Vienna is a freeware, open source RSS/Atom newsreader for the Mac OS X operating system. It provides features comparable to commercial newsreaders, but both it and the source code are freely available for download.

Need to give this a try on the iBook now that Shrook has gone to a subscription system.
