I go to many coffee shops, restaurants and other businesses which offer free Wi-Fi for their customers. And yes, sometimes the food is not my favorite and the coffee not the best. However, since I am a geek and like to have the Wi-Fi I visit and use their establishments anyway. Throughout time I have…
I received several emails last week after my final Office 2013 article. They asked if I would use it or not.
