[wplug] Wi-Fi

[Douglas Green]

I associate Open Source with "informed consumer" more than altruism  
(specifically, the ability  to see what's running on my machine).  
IMHO, this subject has  nothing to do with political alignment or  
Open Source. I'd love to see PGH get on the free WiFi map, just to  
make this place a little more "young professional friendly". Free  
WiFi would be awesome- lower my taxes and put up some damn street  
signs while you're at it. ;)
