[CGUYS] security on public wireless

[Fred Jones]

sure appreciate someone explaining this to me... 

trying to figure a way to make a public wireless connection secure for 
checking email, logging in to sensitive sites etc. seems like the nature of 
public wireless is that all is transmitted in the clear. would be great to 
be able to use wpa, but many hotels and convenient wireless internet don't 
seem to offer encryption. is there any way to protect wireless transmission 
on a public connection? 

also seems that this issue should be same for pc or mac, no? 

thanks for any help
