My school has a wireless network - today we got to use the Dell Inspiron 2500's that they bought to surf around in class. Pretty neat, were supposed to be reading some junk on NYSE for economics - so of course I come here, right? :) The laptops are junky though - huge for the small screen that they have, but wireless networking rocks :)

YEs, they do rock. Most of the time, when my lectures are getting down hill, I'll just on the laptop they hand to us before class. :D

UCLA is going to implement a wireless network ON CAMPUS so you can haul around laptops with wireless lan cards and surf the web while your trying to pass the 2-hour long class on ethnomusic!

NOW THAT IS AWESOME

if UCLA actually implements that network i will actually buy a 802.11b card!!! no more waiting for a stupid desk in powell. hahahahaha.

ok yeah i hate waiting for those desks ok. my 3.4 pound subnote will just feel like a better value. I think they already implemented it in north campus (yeah makes sense, the side where all the non engineers and scientists are) but they aren't saying where, hopefully its up soon. i figured since the whole campus is already networked they could have just gone to compusa last night and bought lots of $120 WAPs, and plugged them in all over the place, but i guess they dont like my brilliant idea
