[Rhodes22-list] Another Computer Question

[Jim Bunnell]

No one has asked your travel plans. If you stay mainly in the States  
at motels and hotels, I think you'll find broadband internet access  
common, and more often than not, wireless. It doesn't matter at all  
if you are Apple or Windows; wireless standards are the same for  
both. I travel with a Powerbook, and normally I just open it and it  
asks if I want to connect to the hotel network. If it is wired, then  
it is more work, I have to plug in the ethernet wire first. :) I  
would stay with the platform you are familiar with - and besides, it  
seems that most of the "Windows first" programs I hear about are  
viruses or other malware.
