B: Just plug the Ethernet cable into your computer, and you'll be off and running.

A: Anything to get me up and running.
B: For starters, we have a computer lab.

A: That's fine. Now tell me about the other alternatives.
B: Just bring your laptop down here to the lobby. We're set up for wireless right here.
