In the hospital (CHEO) emergency room with my 6 year old and expecting a long wait, I bring in my laptop to get a little work done while she snoozes. Lo and behold, CHEO has free wifi for visitors! No naps were taken and no work was done, but we spent an awful lot of time on NickJR that day. Interestingly, not only were there no signs in emerg indicating the availability of wifi, but without exception, every passing nurse and doctor was surprised to learn about this free service. Now if only I wasn't using my company laptop, I could have downloaded a VoIP client and by-passed that nasty hospital cell-phone ban! What is it about 6 year olds, wifi and NickJr?
