Am I the only one that finds a certain bit of irony in the fact that the

11MB 802.11 wireless throughout the entire hotel, so that people could
literally walk from one end of the hotel to the other with laptop perched
in the crook of one arm while using the other to do e-mail, web browsing

e-mail clients that can't handle recent advances in technology - even to
the point of using "dumb" devices that can only handle ASCII?
Not everyone considers a move from ASCII to HTML "an advance in technology".
