This post is coming to you from the lobby of a hotel in deepest Gunma - a prefecture just northwest of Tokyo. It is the first time I have got my wireless Net connection to work outside of my house in a so-called hotspot. It's convenient and free, and well worth getting a wireless LAN card installed in one's computer for just such an occasion. Of course it's not so nice when one gets stung by mosquitoes in the process - we're in November for goodness sakes - but this beggar has no intention of complaining any further than he already has done.
Posted by Joe at November 6, 2003 11:44 PMTime for me to join the wireless revolution. When Joey types something on his laptop now, I disconnect my big computer from the Internet, dial-up on his laptop and upload the file, and then dial-up on the big Mac again to retrieve it.
And the scoutmaster said the school is going to be a hotspot...
