You've got the perfect laptop or PDA?or at least a perfectly service-able device?and you want to get out on the town and surf the Internet. Or perhaps you are about to go on a trip?for business or pleasure?and want to make sure that you can be in touch with email using Wi-Fi every step of the way. Or maybe you simply want to walk your neighborhood and see if anyone has a Wi-Fi network you can use.
