My wi-fi finder indicates there is free wi-fi at a couple of the local motels. Is there any wireless connectivity at the rally sie itself?

I carry one every day, to and from work. I also do a rotating oncall schedule where I sometimes get to use my laptop in the middle of the night.
When I take time off from work, and head out on the 'cycle, the last thing in the world that I want to do is look at a computer.
That said, I can't thank the people enough that take pics daily, and upload them to these boards during the rally. That's a great way of sharing the rally with those that couldn't make it.

When in the world will you have time to use a Computer at the Rally? and carry one with you, thats insane. LOL now that I'm retired I'm on this Computer pecking out messages or making trips to the garage to tinker on one of the bikes, every day. the Rally will be a great time to relax, make new friends, and do some riding. just my .02 worth...![]()
I personally can't wait/am waiting until my company comes up with one that plugs directly into my spinal cord, then I can work even when I'm asleep!

With a Virtual Keyboard...its what I travel with and allows me to still connect to the office including speadsheets and pocket Word! Im loving the mobile lifestyle! WiFi saves me BIG money when traveling in the US, no Expensive roaming charges for us poor Canadians!
Ya the i-phones not bad, bit of a consumer device but cool.

I love my iPhone and the new SDK coming out will rock. I gotta have a command line for being on call. A laptop is nice for offloading your digi's photos so you can sort through them later back home.

All, I'm the Co-Chair of the Cyber Cafe Committee, which is responsible for both the Cafe proper, and for all Internet access for the rally.
There will be WiFi in all the major buildings used for the Rally in Gillette. Specifically, the vendor building, (Central Pavilion), the seminar/registration building (Energy Hall), and the main administrative office building (Heritage Center). There will also be outdoor WiFi access in the large grassy area between the beer garden and the vendor building (The Plaza), and in a one or two of the tent camping areas (Reata Park and maybe the "North 40" quiet camping). And, there will be the Cyber Cafe located in Energy Hall. All this access due to special arrangements with Collins Communications of Gillette, who have been very helpful in support the rally.
