Krystal part deux
Of course, the above entry wasn't sent from Krystal. It WAS written there, but for some reason, I couldn't connect. (timeout errors). I was able to download a 10 meg update file for my firewall, and I logged into both my email and a fave forum. But, even though I saw no other wireless users, it seemed.........slow?
I did the 10 megs in about three minutes, smoking compared to my dialup. But, sluggish from other wi-fi spots I've been to. Maybe it is the card. The old setup had a remote B, the current a built-in G.
And, anybody with netstumbler or similar ilk could be monitoring my connection and stealing my passwords.
So, I *think* its' a good middle ground for those who can't get home-broadband, or need to pull over and send or snag a file quickly. I'd hate to be there during a busy period. And, it seems sluggish.
So, I guess its' back to hoping the neighbor will sloppily set up a wireless router...... >:)
