Ok kids,
This may be a weird thread,
But i live in rual michigan,
and the only available internet is dial up,
but you know how sometimes you just HAVE to download a program, then you come to figure that its really huge.
Well,
If i bought a wifi usb adapter,
and put it in my iMac g3, and i dragged my iMac, mouse, and keyboard out to my car,
and plugged my iMac in,
and drove to a big city,
(or to my local mcdonalds 20 minutes away.)
Could I possibly connect to something?
I could connect in the mcdonalds parking lot right?
thats what all the fancies do with their coffee and laptops these days isnt it?
But mybe i could find a nice guy who would be willing to, share his connection.....ok my main question is,
With a wifi adapter,
could i easily connect to any network as long as it isnt protected?
Sorry if i sound stupid,
but besides someone letting me use their laptop with wifi,
ive NEVER even surfed the internet with high speed............
and i'm not getting high speed in my area any time soon ((the only option is some complicated internet i forgot the name of which is over $100 a month))
although sbc says they will maybe have dsl in my area around 2010.......wow...how depressing.
Thanks,
Tanner.
