Yeah, I'm a little behind.
I have a wireless adapter in my work laptop but since I never take it out of the docking station, and we don't have a wireless network at work, I've never used it.
But I needed to bring my car in to get the oil changed and get that tire plugged (thanks again for the advice guys) and wanted to continue doing research for a blog article I'm planning. I thought I might get lucky with a wireless network so I brought the laptop with me.
Well hell, I'm here waiting for my car to be done and surfing! There were two networks actually, my dealership's and another Linksys network but that signal wasn't that strong.
This is sweet. I know Mirlyn is a wireless king but who else here uses wireless in remote areas? My Dad has been finding hotspots all over the place while they traveled out to Cali this year and I found tons of sites that list places that offer wireless for free (with or without their knowledge).
I might start taking my laptop home more now.
