Spooky Action At A Distance

No I didn't have wireless broadband for my Commodore 64, but as a fairly early adopter I do remember people being relatively freaked out by Wifi when they first saw it. Some of you oldsters might remember that having a wired home broadband connection was pretty miraculous not all that long ago. I remember when a friend was visiting and we needed to check something online and he kept telling me that I needed to plug in my internet. That wifi worked at all and was actually pretty fast (even then - newer protocols are faster) freaked people out at first.
