Here’s the deal:

My sister in law, two floors up, has a DSL modem and a WiFi router [in a 20 square foot one-room, sure, whatever]. The router is on the floor, so I am really, if I really want it, only 1.1 floors away from the router [that would require me to stand on the table and hold the laptop close to the ceiling, but anyway…]. However, tables in Korea are mostly low, as in coffee-table with even shorter legs low. As you can see from a couple of toes, this table is on only a few inches above the floor. And my TiBook don’t get it. *But* if I prop it up with 4 paperbacks and a box of tissues, I get my network access, most of the time… So all is fine, except when I have to type something at any length, like my column for RBDeveloper. Then it becomes slightly more problematic…

Thank you Elmore Leonard, Greg Bear, Michael Connelly, John Grisham and Kleenex.
