ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We have it, but we do not announce that we have it.  Tech-savvy visitors
find it themselves.  A couple of homeshool moms use it while their kids are
in classes.  I've seen a few other folks using it as well.  If people wanted
to pay admission just to come sit in our cafe space and use the Wi-Fi, I
don't think we'd find that problematic at all. There are several free Wi-Fi
options within a mile of us, so we don't see much of this.
