Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fountains-of-knowledge-where-students-come-to-drink dept.

newdamage writes "Intel recently released it's ranking of The Most Unwired College Campuses and I was happy to see my school, Purdue, up there at #2. I can personally attest that my laptop w/ wireless card can be used over almost all of the main campus, and there's always a few people in lecture using laptops to access notes and take extra notes. Granted all I've found is that internet access in class just gives me a better way to not pay attention. What are other peoples' experiences with wireless access on their campus? Is there widespread coverage, and if so, does it help you get more school related work done by having your laptop connected where ever you are on campus?"

    LOL, you're killing me man. What's with the /?s ? Well, I'm sure I already know. Despite your attempts to sell me your kit, I'm going to have to respectfully decline. Seeing as how an enormous amount of people sell these, and that there are still many, many people on /., I'd personnally guess say they don't work well. If there was really a kit you could market, why wouldn't you be a (mb)illionaire, and why are you selling on slashdot? Why do no search engines even know your site? Only 7 testimonials? I'm you're average consumer, Mike, and this is not what I want to see. If you genuinley want to interest me, try a different route. Until then, well, I'll just let the women keep telling me I beautiful eyes.

    Good luck
