Now calm down a bit mate - I'm jusy pointing out that the "law" isn;t always as clear as some might think.

I have never condoned any illegal or dishonest act, and never will !

... and Yes my HP Ipaq H5550 PDa does work just like that - I click the Wireless button, get a green light to say its on, then open Pocket Internet Explorer and if the wirelesss system has found a free to access connection - it uses it !

I CAN manually go into the settings and see what is connected and also what is available, but I can make a connection without knowing what that connection is ( Not that I would of course )

So if I did this - with no dishonest intent on my part - as previously described, I would not be breaking any laws.

In the case of the Mr. unpronouncable that was a completely different case - and each one should be looked at in its individual context.
