I'm happy that the Wi-Fi has reappeared for Patrick, but just a subtle question....is this legal, or is it stealing? Now I've done exactly the same thing in Masset for emergency downloading and uploading of loggings, etc. I've felt a little bad about using someone else's bandwidth too. I'm not clear, not being a lawyer, whether this is illegal. I kind of think that it is....seems to me I've read of a person being arrested outside a fast food/coffee shop somewhere in the States for doing exactly that....connecting his laptop to the Wi-Fi signal which was meant for patrons of the establishment. I'd be really interested in knowing the source of the Wi-Fi signal, which should be fairly easy to do, with one of those hand-held Wi-Fi meters, and if it's within the community....how come someone else can get Wi-Fi, whereas Patrick has so much trouble establishing a high speed link? Just thinking! ......Walt in Victoria.
