Not at all; I'm trying to figure out why I can't hook up to the
hotspots at the airport, the mall, Starbucks, and a hundred other
places. While I have tried to hook up to my neighbor's network as a
test (that failed), I haven't found it to be illegal (and I've asked).
But, regardless, I think I'm making progress. Talked to a guy today
that helped me figure out some stuff, so it may be a moot point...
