Now that public libraries have Wi-Fi, all the jobless geeks will start to hang around libraries (instead of expensive latte cafes), giving librarians a chance to inform them about the library budget cutbacks. The geeks will start to spread the word through their blogs and lists, and this will create the necessary political pressure to reverse the situation. At the same time, these libraries can show more visitors in their annual statistics. This is a secret conspiracy among librarians, and I wish they succeed. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
