Wi-Fi, more important than beer?

Computer World reports:
"College students seems to think so. Nearly 75% of the students who took part in a recent poll said Wi-Fi access on their college campuses helps them get better grades.

In fact, college students like Wi-Fi so much that 48% said they would give up beer before giving up Wi-Fi, according to the survey, which was conducted by Wakefield Research for the Wi-Fi Alliance."
Not sure about the strength of this assessment given the survey didn't look at actual grade performance, but the bit about beer we'll take on face value for its comedic merit.

On a related note, did you know that Wi-Fi" stands for "Wireless Fidelity"?

Luckily at Georgetown, one doesn't have to make a choice because it is already made for us: no reliable wifi!
