you don't take it with you

camping hasn't really been roughing it in the true sense most of my life. i think on-site wifi is a bit much, however. maybe if you brought the laptop to your car campground and then drove/rode/walked somewhere to use the internet, it wouldn't seem so bad. then again, people had portable satellite radios all over the place. which reminds me. why use one of those things ever? the signal gets blocked by trees, of all things. new hampshire must not have very many happy satellite radio listeners.
