My husband often likes to remind me of the many times in our marriage that I've changed my mind. Changed my mind from 'No I don't need that," to "Yes, I can't live without it." I thought I didn't need a computer, or a cell phone, a laptop, satellite TV, a photo-quality printer, a wireless card, the better digital camera, a bigger memory card, an mp3 jukebox and the list goes on and on. It is during times when my productivity is booming from my new technology devices that dear hubby likes to drop his favorite phrase, "and you thought you didn't need that," with a smuggish smile. Ok ok. I do admit, I like my technology! Give me a week with my new toy and I'm quickly singing its praises! Now I just love hearing about new products and how they're going to help me save time and make my life easier.

My husband's latest "I told you so," revolves around the wireless card I have for my laptop. I knew that most of my work revolves around word processing so I quickly said that I didn't need an internet connection on the laptop. Funny, most of my surfing now is in the comfort of the family room on the couch while watching the TV. I sure like the idea of multi-tasking! I think when I ran to my pc on the commercial to see if I was still winning an auction my husband said, "I'm buying you a wireless card tomorrow!" Fast forward a month with my wifi card and I am now singing the wifi blues! It didn't take me long before I figured out how to connect outside of the house.

I recently had been in a coffee shop that advertised 'free Wifi. The next day I brought my laptop and was thrilled to be able to read email while sipping an espresso. Word's out that more and more places are offering free-wifi, but it can be a challenge finding out where. Welcome to the website, WiFiHotSpotList.com. Here you can search for wifi access points within a 10 mile radius of a certain zip code in the US and Europe. For each access point, there will be the location and address along with the network they use. There might be more information including the network type and whether it is free.

One of the best features about Wi-FiHotSpotList.com is that you can now download their database onto your laptop. You no longer have to 'pre-plan' at home before you go. You'll now have the ability to search for access points no matter where you are. I really love this ability because I can do a wifi search without being connected to the internet!

If you're like me, someone that resists technology though warms up with the added convenience, you'll definitely enjoy the wifi experience outside your home or office. WifeHotList.com will make going to coffee a whole lot more fun!
