Did you tell her that she's not a good republican for embracing any new technology? After all, Fox says it's bad to do that. |

I haven't been at a hotel without wifi for a long time, and there's now free wifi at most airports and, of course, at coffee shops and suchlike. I haven't had any security problems yet related to wifi use, and I've been wifi-ing while traveling for many years. |
