[TriLUG] Wireless at Lowes

Hash: SHA1

on a semi-related note, i've noticed Yagi antennae inside several 
Lowe's and was wondering if anyone had tried to get on the apparent 
wifi that they use in store (the yagis were hooked to things that 
might've been bast stations and looked the right size for 2.4 GHz 
antennae).
