I’m kind of new to wireless networking, and I still find it mighty cool. I’m in the West Palm Beach airport, and I’m surfing the dope from my laptop with the airport’s free WiFi. Not only that, but I borrowed one of the company’s Sprint AirCards, and I’ll have internet access via the cellular network my whole Christmas break. (Before I planned on using the AirCard I was hoping one of my Mom’s neighbor’s would have an unsecured wireless router I was going to surf from. I’m glad I found a more ethical route.) ---

Hope the hard-working men and women of the TSA aren’t looking all squinty-eyed at you. Have a good flight! ---

Woo hoo! Me too! At DFW airport, on my brand new laptop I bought at Sam’s! (Okay, I’m sure that last part makes me a tool.) ---

Well, I’m back from jail. Thanks a lot **BMalion** … :rolleyes: 😉 The Sprint AirCard is working well. Anybody know how much the accounts for these things are? I heard once while back, but don’t recall the number. I do remember being shocked at how expensive they are. Good thing I’m not paying for this one. In fact, my company isn’t even paying for it, it’s an evaluation type deal with Sprint, since we’ll probably be partnering with them on a project. ---

Color me jealous. RDU and MIA charge a buttload for wi-fi access.
