    I also noticed all the CVS pharmacies in my area have wireless with no 
    WEP, just no time to see what they are doing with it. They all seem to 
    name their access points cvsretail1 as well. Has anyone determined what 
    they are using this for? Maybe I can fill my own perscription from the 
    parking lot. =] But to confirm ... EVERY newer looking CVS in my town 
    has wlan... even most of the old looking ones. I just got a new store 
    near my house... they took over an old drug store. It took them about 2 
    weeks to get wlan,  but it is up now.
