Ha! I was telling everyone to get one. But they are very useful tools to have in the toolbox techie-or-not. The flow of information does not want to "be free" no matter how the 1990s warm-fuzzes internet led me to believe otherwise.

Information is cornered and imprisoned. It is being held in Abu Ghraib. So as a consumer of both 21st century digital wheat and chaff it is important to give oneself "the full monty" because context and perspective aren't everything ... but they are worth a hell of a lot to advertisers.

Setting up a VPN ... most of the places have a way for them to connect to yo' box and set it up for you. Just email them!

edit: oh spelling, grammar, and punctuation et cetera
