Barnes book store wireless internet question
 

do i need just a wireless card on a laptop to access the internet at Barnes Book store that offer wireless internet inside?

or do i have to pay a fee and get login/password from the person that works there?

thanks

Um.. can't you call Barnes and Nobles?

He's shy.

sure

ok i was hoping one of you guys went to Barnes and Noble book store and brought your laptop there for internet access.

:)

damn i guess i will call

My guess is that you just go in and when you try to go to a web page, their wireless provider's web page will come up, and it will take your credit card info.

Correct.

Must be what the cool kids are calling it these days or something.

Wireless Hotspots are usually fairly simple to connect to. Often you only have to turn on the laptop and connect to an available wireless network. Once you connect, a Web page will usually come up to authenticate so you can login or sign-up. It's fairly seemless.

I did have to call T-Mobile from a Starbucks once, but that's because I couldn't get it figured out and had to manually configure it.

Otherwise, it's simple. The best are the free hotspots.

I don't follow. I know I'm cool, but what was it that I said?

Probably referring to your calling Barnes and Noble, Barnes and Nobles.

No, it was him calling it "Barnes" and me agreeing with your assessment and putting in some conjecture of my own as to why he called it as such.
