 A lot of NYC is vertical. I wonder how saturated it really is in 3-D.

 Ah, proud to be one of those red dots in the 140s. I keep expecting to find my building warchalked, but I guess the drug dealers on B'way haven't discovered WiFi yet.

 There is a rather poignant hole in the red dots where the Trade Center used to be.

 You find access points by opening up your laptop and looking at the list of access points that are available.

 I am reminded of the description of the networked Manhattan
in Neuromancer.

 With the glaring (though not total!) exception of Harlem, anyway.

This comes just in time; last night my girlfriend, going stir-crazy from telecommuting, was discussing options (we live in Washington Heights, not coated in red but certainly showing options).

Where's the source material? I've never actually done wireless; how do you find an access point if you haven't noticed any warchalk?
