Re: laptop set up
yep. its prety badass. I've had to do it a couple times. It's almost teh same principle as having wireless at your house and taking the laptop outside while you work on your car incase you need to do some googling on something.
Some people password protect their networks, but its usually pretty easy to get a hold of a network.

Re: laptop set up
that is whats up. im going to have to look into the wireless i didnt even think about that one. does any one know if you can upgrade to wireless or do you have to already have the capability from the factory?
