I'm glad to hear this as well.
When people say that wireless is a bust I look at them a bit funny and point at the Atenna on my roof.
It's quite a spectacular antenna sence my ISP up-graded it to a highly directional antenna, I was having connection problems which turned out to be software, so now I've got this wicked looking dish.
The only downside to the wireless in my area (Omak, Washington) is it isn't really a mobile solution. And I don't feal left out either, I would perhaps if I was in a larger town, Seattle for example.
There is no point at citysearch'ing for Omak, there's nothing to do any way. Bowling, WalMart? And one theater which often times is beat by the rental company for new movies sad isn't it?
Our wireless is provided by the local radiostation. It's a small 4-5 man operation. Rather pitiful. But I live.:)

Absolutely. I'm a senior CS undergraduate. When I was a freshman, we were in the thick of the moronic dot com business models. "We'll revolutionize online toilet paper delivery!"
All of the ideas coming out of my classmates were equally moronic. Or moreso. (even my older classmates:) Now that no one is *looking* for businesses to start, and no one is hiring, they're just finding ways to make money. And it's working. They're not incorporating, they're not talking about venture capital, and they're thinking smaller.
People realized that they're not going to be millionaires, and they're making money. The internet can still make you money. Small businesses rule.
