Definition
MISnT was the name given to the Macintosh, Information Services, and Technology 'department' of Lone Pine. Prior to the closing of Lone Pine, MISnT was responsible for managing 'pretty much anything that plugs into the wall', including the Lone Pine network.
Most of the technologies used today in Kidsnet evolved from MISnT projects. Likewise, some people from MISnT are still involved in running Kidnset.
Kidsnet support person Keith Thelen was responsible for starting and leading MISnT throughout its five-year existance.
