SNF WiFi?

Did anyone who went to SNF avail themselves of the WiFi connectability?

I did and I was very disapointed. Coverage was very poor. None at all
in the Warbirds area or the ultralight area. I was told that they had a
antenna pointed at the media center but I was never able to get a
connection there. It only seemed to work in the exhibit area and even
then I would often only get a 5.5 MB connection. About the only place I
could use it was in the Aces Cafe ( Old mageritaville ) and there was no
power there so I would run my laptop battery down and then carry the
unit back out to the Vintage building and recharge it, then go back in.
If I had it to do again I would not.

*gasp!*

I don't care about wi-fi -- but MargaritaVille is gone? This is a
catastrophe!

MargaritaVille was what made Sun N Fun *not* Oshkosh! Sitting in the
sun, listening to Jimmy Buffet under the swaying palm trees, sipping a
margarita at the end of a long day of airplanes...man, that was a
unique fly-in!

SNF has really screwed up getting rid of that place...

suggestion: make your own tribute to MargaritaVille next time you
are there. A small CD player, some maragitas, and even a small
palm tree (it'll fit in Atlas, won't it?)...

Tree(s) should not be a problem. I'm sure you have seen the figures,
etc that are blown up with a squirrel cage fan in front of business
for advertising. A tree like that rolled up and the small fan would
even fit in a 152 so Jay's big bird could carry a forest if he wanted
to :o)

I saw a bunch of inflatible palm trees from "oriental trading co", a
place that imports all kinds of chinese made trinkets. I saw them on the
cover of their catalog. Do a google, you'll probably find their website.
