[ILUG] Wardriving

[Ian Spillane]

Ah stop would ya.

1. "3 Broadband" is "broadband" whatever way you look at it. Stop annoying
me in my time of need.

2. I have no intention of stealing anything. Supermacs in Mallow have free
wifi. Firgrove Hotel in Mitchelstown have open wifi (pay by account credit).
I hope to find more. Many cafes have free wifi. I will be sitting there
eating lunch and drinking much coffee to "pay" for it.

3. I have no friends. Hate people ;-)
