The Wireless Experience

They wired their house. Or rather it's wirelessly wired. They've got a hot spot, you see, a base station. They've got this box sending out radio waves to their computers -- wired without the wires. And in this fashion, the computers can move around.

Surfing the web while sitting on the deck with my laptop in my lap is quite the experience! he exclaimed.

It was easy to imagine: blue skies, dogwoods a-bloom in the woods, a hillside alive with the promise of spring, and a laptop to boot. What more could you want? As I sat in my wired office looking out at the grass and the sun from behind my window, it was very easy to imagine, too easy.

I wondered, Is the screen readable outside in the sun?

To which he responded, I never said I could read it!

Blue sky. Bright sun. Green meadows on the hillside. And a laptop on your lap that won't get in the way can't bother you with work. Quite the experience, indeed!
