I know Windows & Linux have it built in, so I'm pretty sure Mac does too.
some free wifi /hot spots places might still require you to sign up & log on but they don't charge for use. But you can't sit there all day and not buy anything LOL - they do frown on that part.  |
So any NEW laptop that I get should come with Windows 7, right, and before I buy it I would ask the guy "is this wi-fi ready, or do I have to do something?"
Then if he says "no it's all set, just purchase, go into McDonalds, and enjoy.
Since I go out for breakfast in the morning, I have my choice of 4 places that offer wi-fi. Before I buy anything, I'm taking a walk to each and every place, ask 2 questions;
1. do you have wi fi? and if says "sure", then
2. Do I have to sign up to use it.
Now I don't really care if I have to sign up to use it because it would be free.
So....when all is said and done, to rephrase the old adage, HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!!!
I would have my laptop and Wi Fi TOOOOOO!!!
lol lol lol
P.S One more important thing. I would NEVER do any personal banking, put any personal information WHATSOEVER on this laptop because I know there are people who could be sitting next to me and copying everything off of my hard drive.
I WATCHED MISSION IMPOSSIBLE YOU KNOW!!!!
lol
