picked a handful of violets in my name

No not really, when I first got my laptop i set up the wi-fi it connected fine... then when i went to secure the network, i learned i had been using some one elses network, If there are more then 1 networks in your neighbor hood then theres a good chance hes on someone elses network. One that has an open interweb conneection. this is just some thing else you might want to look into.
