How odd. Perhaps this will serve as an interesting document for future historians trying to understand how we ever lived in a society where hotspots were not as freely prevalent and accessible as drinking fountains.

Maybe Mauritius will say the most thank you's.

Thank you, guys in the apartment across the hall, who don't know or don't care to secure your network!

"...a society where hotspots were not as freely prevalent and accessible as drinking fountains."

You know, drinking fountains are getting to be fairly rare these days. Certainly not as easily found as they were in my youth. I wonder what that says, if anything, for the future of community data networks?

"Thank you" to the Helping Hands Agency in Page, AZ. I was getting desperate last year...

Really? I think future peoples will look back at this age and marvel at the prosperity we are experiencing now compared to their times.
