     Here are a lot of free wi-fi nodes all over, I was just up in the
 San Juan's and they have them at all the harbors that you have to pay
 for but there are free ones that you can pickup from hotels and
 restaurants plus a lot of private nodes from homes and offices that
 are not encrypted that you can use.

I tried running the newsletter from Australia using a Windows note
book and got
a virus within an hour or two. I have never had a virus with Linux
in six years of running this newsletter.

Yep I got wi-fi (I think). Wireless. It was loaded. DVD R/W CD R/W
80 gig HD  1 gig ram etc etc etc

   I have never had a virus on my mac iBook ether but my Sony laptop
has had nothing but problems with them and I am going to trash it,
the only reason I got it was for traveling as it has a PC card slot
for a cell modem but with wi-fi the iBook will get me by until I get
a titanium that has both.
  Microshit sucks big ones and so does Bill Gates.

I could not and would not run this newsletter if I had to deal with viruses.
I get sometimes 200 email messages a day. Many of them are attempts at sending me
a Microsoft Windows viruses.  My email address is on over 1500 computers world 
wide. You have no idea :)
