the mac rules at london stansted

haha, my waiting time just got a lot more fun.....
let me explain a little more.... I am at london stansted right now... my flight to eindhoven is leaving at 06:55 which means waiting for 8 hours as I had already arrived at the airport around 23:00 cause there are no trains going to the airport in the middle of the night.... as you can not take your bottle of water nor your sandwich with cheese with you trough customs (there is this crazy 100ml rule for fluids and one can not take cheese along cause of fear of footh and mouth disease) I decided to stay at the initial waiting area just before customs, here I saw this BT (british telecom) hotspot, and decided to give it a try, took out the apple laptop, and found several networks with the airport wireless connection, at first only those that needed paying for, then I tried this one: wifi zone-the cloud- and guess what... it allowed me to connect and here I am... didnt know this was exceptional untill there was a girl that asked what and how with teh free networks here... little did I know that her pc would not let her connect for free, ha ha... the macintosh rules, dont know how, but right now I am sitting in a luxury sofa with a nice armrest for the laptop and powerconnection to charge the somewhat poor battery....
still 4 hours to go right now till check-in starts.. but hey.... 5 hours gone by pretty easy this way.....
