   Actually, Supercali..docious filters out the people who would     
   otherwise waste the wifi resources.  If they are going to leech     
   from the free wifi, at least make them work for it a little!   
      
   I have wifi at my shop (but I keep it off now due to a security     
   issue that I was not originally aware of) ..but if I were to re-    
   introduce the wifi, I'd make people look for a specific book     
   title in stock based on a clue - a kind of scavenger hunt for the     
   wifi password - I love it!

   I am not sure I would appreciate a stranger's iPhone "connecting"     
   with mine to bug me for a password tip.  It almost sounds like     
   the insparation from the infra-red comm feature that two     
   Thinkpads could utilize and then share files between each other.
