George wants to rule my life. I would rather object to George's generator,
running to keep his motorhome cool, than someone sitting at a laptop. More
outdoor freedom for George if the other residents are inside with a laptop.

Jeff just laments his own lack of conviction, that if WiFi were there, he
would be powerless to avoid using it. ;-)

There are many retirees who would like to post their photos to PicassaWeb
while on the road, or be able to view the myspace pages of the
grandchildren.

I wonder what a backpacker does with the laptop while out on the trail.
Maybe it gets locked in the "bear locker" along with the peanut butter.
Or tucked safely under the dirty socks in the laundry bag.

KOA has had WiFi for years. I used it to plot my next camp sites.

Cell phone coverage is more intrusive on my solitude than WiFi coverage.
