Hello Ed!

But that doesn't mean you should not use wif! ..or that you  
should fear eavesdropping.  In your list, you should see a  
closed "lock" icon for most of them.  They probably all  
represent WPA2 as well.

Basically, the system is just informing you who is beaming  
radio signals around you. I think it is a GOOD thing to know  
that.

No worries. I would think there is a "select-block of text"  
function available to you, but you haven't found it yet.
