The latest iPhones handle WiFi OK, but others don't;
even so, it's not great -- I wouldn't use it.
A desktop with a decent WiFi adaptor works well.

All day, every day.
I move people into/out_of units; lots of turnover.
I do most of the work myself, without help.

Minimum wage, here in Seattle, is #13/hour this year,
$15/hour next year.  Parking is $120/month.
Gas is $2.50/callon, I think (I don't drive).

I don't expect everyone here to be rich;
but, also, I don't expect them to think like Richard Stallman.

My CraigsList posts begin:

  <h2><pre>

That's it, nothing more (HTML-wise).
I just type it in.  My current ad:

If I like a site, I whitelist some of its JavaScript servers,
and I write CSS rules for it; to wit:
