Would it kill Mitchell to offer free WiFi?

What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Feb. 27, 2008 at 10:28 a.m.

I'm sitting at the airport right now, and composing this blog is gonna take an excruitiatingly long time. Why? Because I'm typing it on my Blackberry instead of on my laptop. Because Gen. Mitchell Airport doesn't offer free WiFi.

I've got a few layovers between Milwaukee and Munich, so I'll see if these other airports offer free wireless. It seems like the least they can do.

If I'm expected to arrive two hours prior to departure, wouldn't it be nice to at least get a little WiFi for free? I mean, I'd consider paying their one-time fee, but I only need an hour of access. And believe me, these tickets were pricey enough.

Anyway, I'd keep on ranting, but people tell me I should try to relax while on vacation. And my thumbs are getting sore from typing on this tiny keyboard.
