Everywhere I need there to be Wifi[1] there is Wifi, but none of it is free, really.

Moonsocket,

Read my post again - I didn't specify the university.

Dalhousie *does* have WiFi - quite pervasive, in fact.

Unfortunately, I'm at the other university in the South End.

tedj, yes, MUN students and faculty have to register their computers with Computing and Communications, but this takes only about 10 minutes. Then it's "Adio wires!"

enaj, good question, and easily resolved.

Just go here, and download a nifty free little application called MacStumbler.

If there is Wi-Fi within receiving range of your Mac, it will let you know instantly.

Cheers
