I find wireless to be invaluable sometimes. Many times I'm reading something and come across an unfamiliar term and want a fuller definition than what's in the dictionary or historical person whose name doesn't ring a bell with me and I'm nowhere near an available computer. That's when it's really nice to be able to do a Wikipedia search. It's also nice to be able to re-download books from the archive when searching for a particular passage or quote. Wireless rocks!
