Any thoughts on the pros and cons of giving this service to the public after hours compare to security issues or hacking or even downloading of files through a library network when no one is at the building? At this moment I have our wireless access points set to disable internet access after hours, but I was curious and wanted to post this question to the list serve.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for any replies. <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Christopher J.
