WiFi Wednesday: Take that, MKE Edition
Oh, General Mitchell International Airport! You told us we could log on to your WiFi with nary a hitch. Just connect to the network "pcswifi," your PA announcement said. It's offered throughout the terminal, you promised. So we whipped out the computer--and the 'net access didn't work. We tried again from a different part of Terminal D, and got stopped in our tracks by some sort of sign-in screen. MKE, you should know we think WiFi should be free as a bird. Fortunately, when Jaunted goes on the road, we roll geeked out.
We had our Mac set up to pow-wow with our BlackBerry Pearl via Bluetooth. Combined with the Cingular's data service, we could stream data over the air, through the 'tooth and to our laptop. Pretty sweet, no? Before you praise us as some sort of IT wizards, know that we got the idea from Fibble.
And, before you think it's the end all, be all, we did actually have some trouble staying connected. We were able to snag some emails and check a little bit of news before giving up. Even though we're web dorks, some of this stuff is complicated!
