Wifi at the Houston Library

Based on a post over a Rocket Jones I decided to go to my local library to pick up a copy of Master and Commander which of course they didn't have at my branch.
However as long as I knew I was going there I brought along my laptop to see if the Wifi they said they had it worked.
It did.
It worked fine as a matter of fact.
Win XP picked it up as soon as I opened the laptop and asked me if I wanted to connect to a non-secure network.
I was able to go to this site, check my yahoo mail and hit a couple of site off of Drudge.

What didn't work so well was the library's computer directory. I went to request a copy of Master and Commander and it asked me for my pin which I forgot (of course) but they had that covered with a link that said "Forgot your pin"?
I clicked on that and got a "404 Page not found" (of course).
Still some work needed there.
