"Well, that pretty much does it. It looks like this newsgroup has gone
the way of the CB radio. It is ruined by a few people that, for some
strange reason, choose to belittle anyone that asks for help.

I trust you all enjoy each others warped sense of humor. Have a great
life."

The troll is here to stay and you'll just have to get over it.

There's no point in responding to its posts, which just gives the idiot the
attention it craves.

Still better than martin's jokes.

I believe it is, but I've never gone inside one.

What about other chains?

I was outside a Burger King the other day (again, not inside) and got a
free signal. Pubs often have free wifi too- I believe Starbucks too-
though it used to be paid for, and might still be. Free wifi isn't
ubiquitous in the UK, but it's relatively common.

Burger King too! That sounds good.

The only thing I'm not sure of, (Because I'm far from a computer
expert), is how to send mail. Do you have to stay on the main server,
like Yahoo? If you download your mail to say, Outlook, it's erassed
from the server, right? Now if you want to answer or forward, you
would need to know the McDonalds or Burger King Pop Server name,
right?

If you use your laptop for e-mailing it won't make any difference to
your mail settings whether you are using a wireless connection sitting
at home or in a Burger King in England. If you normally use a different
computer for e-mail you'll probably want to use an IMAP connection,
which ensures that the e-mails stay on the server. And my personal
opinion, don't use Outlook unless you want a nervous breakdown trying to
figure out weird and wonderful Microsoft problems.
