Now, you have to explain the term "wardriving"
to the old man.

I'm going to have to get one of the kids or grandkids to do all of that encryption stuff. I wonder if, way out here in the country, it is necessary to do all of that. Better safe, I guess. I was astounded that I picked up wireless from across the street. There are only two houses within 300 feet of us. Most of this area is pasture and woods.
