[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Even if I seem to live life perfectly well without all these electronic playthings, I recognize and respect that the middle class expects that in addition to heat, light, and cooling, that there is also a wireless connection available to the internet. I can't help but note how important 24/7 access to the internet appears to be to some, as on so many inquiries from infrequent and first time Amtrak travelers the inquiry "is wi-fi available?" made. I have also seen inquiries and consternation on-board; I can't forget how aboard Auto Train during February 2011 how I was sitting at a table in the Lounge for the pre-departure wine tasting and this Mother and teen age daughter sit down on the opposite side. The girl was "at the wailing wall' when she learned that the wi-fi was only good at Lorton and not en-route; she hustles off to their room. The Mother tells me "thank goodness you said something; she has school assignments to prepare and she must have on-line in order to get them done". To me it sounds as if they were "expecting' that wi-fi would be available. I of course note that Amtrak is spending "heap big wampum" to add wi-fi to both Amfleet and Acela cars. It almost seems to me that Amtrak was slow to "wake up and smell the other guy's coffee brewing' and that if they don't get their own kettle on the fire, they will lose many a potential rider.
