Happy New All

This message comes to you via an open WiFi connection.  We live on our boat
in Florida and use the Marina's WiFi to access the internet.  I have a
directional 2.4 GHz antenna and can connect to Access Points up to a mile
away.  It is our link to the world and use it for email, telephone calls,
watch TV, listen to Radio etc. etc.

The thought of accessing one of those public hot-spots from home has entered
my mind.  Accessing public and open hotspots is fair game as far as I am
concerned.  If the provider does not want you to use it, he should lock the
door and put some security in place.
