Default Wireless Web Access @ The FEST - What Program Do I Need To Use IT?

Saw Volvo4life posted that we should bring our laptops to the fest and post on Rennlist and what not because there will be wireless available. Sounds cool... you know I'm connected at the hip with my laptop anyway. What program do I need?

Thanks,
Cory

When's my turn? You can drive the 924, but I want it back! I prefer red to white.

i can see the true nerds instant messaging eachother from tent to tent.

It's no issue baby.. it's akin to Norad with me there.

No programs required- just a little tweaking in the "Networking" section of your OS.

If you bring me beer, I'll make it work.

John,

Thanks so much for letting me drive your beautiful machine! I just wanted to hear the exhaust and you did the unthinkable, offered to let me drive it. It is so cool that my first time to drive a 911 was in my favorite of them all, the 993, and my favorite year of the 993, 1995! Your 993 is such a fun ride, and thanks for having patience as I learned your clutch. Just a couple times around the block was all I needed. Also, I am so impressed that you took several hours out of your day to work on Rock's car. I know he appreciates it greatly. I wish I could have talked to you more, but you were in high demand, of course. You truly are a wonderful person, and I hope to see you for a third time one of these days. The question is, will I be driving a "FIFTY50" car or a 65/35 car? Thanks for all you do, John, and it is my pleasure to become a member of the great community!

Jonathan

Hey Jonahtan,

We only spoke for a short itme but you seemed like one of the nicest people I met all day. It was to bad we couldnt stay the night but we got home fine. for some reason we ended up in kentucky.... but it was only a 20 minute accidental detour. We ended up staying in Indianapolis in a hotel. I wasnt going to make it all the way without SOME sleep and we both needed showers. Hope to see you again, maybe we can talk longer next year.

Thanks for the kind words. I try to treat others as I would like to be treated, i.e., the Golden Rule. I am so glad to hear that you took my advice and stopped when you started feeling tired. It's just not worth taking a chance. You made the wise choice. I am so sorry that your girlfriend was burned so badly on the drive to the Fest. I hope you guys were able to apply some aloe vera soon after you left Saturday evening. I am glad you made it home safely, and I definitely hope we can talk longer next time! Until then, take care, and I'll see you the 'list!
