The real beauty is when your friends get WiFi and you also get a list of Hotspots both free and pay for service.

If I'm home and building web sites then I'm usually in my office because I like plugging my laptop into an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor, but for anything else like reviewing, flossing the boards and stuff like that then I can sit in my backyard or lay in bed which is nice.

But where WiFi really rocks is the fact that I can finally leave my house. Most of my friends have WiFi now, I know because I set it up for them, and I have the T-Mobile hotspot service (their Wifi name) , $20 a month, plus I know a bunch of free spots, people don't secure their networks. lol

Basically these days I just carry my laptop and work whereever I end up. I do have a pretty long list of SMPT server's in my mail program.

When I was in Vegas Alex, Luna, and I needed coffee and internet service so we sat in the parking lot of a closed Starbucks using their hotspot service so as to access the internet and find a list of Starbucks who were open and had WiFi service.

It's all pretty much seamless, just open up the laptop and start working.
