I have two modest requests (part of nettiquette):
1. Try not to use html or rtf for messages.
2. Trim previous message you repond to.
There are times when bandwidth is VERY limited (people on sailnet for
example).
I left the previous message intact in it's original form to prove the point
(keel-haul me).
Size of previous message: 2,839 bytes.
Size of content: 55 bytes (text): "Starbucks probably accounts for 49 of
those networks."
Thank you,
Walter Knopf

The liability question is an interesting one. The only thing I can say
is one day I drove to work 33 miles in Los Angeles with my Ibook and an
802.11b scanner program running. It counted at least 50 un-password
protected networks I could sign on. Actully, a standard Macintosh is setup
to sign on what ever network has the strongest signal strength........ If
you go into (outside) an Apple computer store, their network is open for
anyone to use.....Anyway, I will keep my eyes open for bad things happening
to people with open 802.11b networks....bill
