John Kelso of the Cox News Service warns, "I saw something horrifying the other day at Louie Mueller Barbecue that proves the end is near."

What did he see? Wireless Internet access in an old-fashioned Texas barbecue restaurant. "That's not a good fit," Kelso writes. "That's like having a minister in a whorehouse."

It's got to be challenging, Kelso acknowledges, to eat barbecue and work on a laptop at the same time. "You'd need one of those Bob Dylan harmonica holders to secure your rib so you could gnaw and type at the same time," he writes. "To me, it's disturbing. Techies, may the smoke from the pit make your browser go limp."

Bobby Mueller, the owner of Louie Mueller Barbecue, says he installed the Wi-Fi access because he noticed that customers were working on their laptops during lunch. "We get a lot of people that, you know, lug their computer around with 'em, and that gives 'em a chance to get something done with their lunch instead of having to rush through it and get back," Mueller says.

Despite the dangers of mixing laptops with barbecue sauce, Mueller says he hasn't seen any problems... yet.
