I read the article someone posted, but dont’ think I quite understood. I guess I will have to ask my son. Drat. I dont’ want to have to be a geek just to surf.
I agree. People should not have to speak Geek just to use a computer. So be careful if you go to someplace like Starbucks and use their wireless public connection to the Internet. If you want to go for the coffee, that's OK, but don't use their network.
If you have a wireless home network, and it uses the best security available, and you trust everyone on your home network, you are OK.
