On the Beauty of WI-FI

I was made to get up last night to find out the age of Fred Talbot, the Map-leaping Meteorologist. My wife is reading Pies and Prejudice and pointed out the factlet that the aforementioned weather enthusiast was once a biology teacher and had taught Mark E Smith. Her assertion that he must be well into his seventies, as at extreme odds with my view that he wasn't yet into his sixties. Feeling comfortable in bed with GEB, I SMSed my brother who refused to get out if his pit to put us out of our misery and so I had to trundle downstairs and switch on the computer to find that Fred Talbot is 58 and Mark E. Smith is 50 making that particular teacher-pupil relationship entirely possible. Now lack of evidence from the Interwebs suggests that it all might be an urban myth but for us, the need for Wireless Internet has been underlined.

VBscript, ftp - no, no, no.

This does not underline the need of wireless but a realization of what is important, what is not and that certain things can wait and that these type of situations make you think about the comfort to be found in ones bed and appreciate it due to the possibility of having to leave it, even for a short( waiting for the pc to boot up)period of time.
