I love wireless

July 22nd, 2004 at 10:16 pm by David Farrar

When I got a new notebook in March, the best decision I made was getting built in wireless.

I’m sitting in a cafe at Kuala Lumpar Airport with free broadband Internet access – it’s great. And the ICANN conference had wireless which meant that no matter what rom you were in, you had continual access with no cables or wires.

Even though I’ve been used to mobile phones for over a decade, I still find it amazing that my notebook can connect to literally millions of other computers around the world, while just sitting on my lap in a room, not plugged into anything at all.

If 20 years ago one had claimed that was possible, I suspect most would have though you watched too much Star Trek.

    Season 4 of Enterprise better not suck.

    Or yes, then it will be possible to watch too much Star Trek. :)

    The previous three did already. I dropped out half-way season three. I couldn’t care anyless for what happened to most of the characters. They mostly behaved like teenagers.
