On Friday, I am bored and want video games. But no Internet service! How to download new games to Wii?!

Assets:

• One VX8300 cellular telephone.
• One Macintosh Book Professional.
• One Nintendo Wii.

Solution:

1. Connect VX8300 to MacBook via Bluetooth.
2. Configure MacBook to use VX8300 as a modem for free. This is an undocumented Verizon feature!
3. Put MacBook in ad-hoc wireless mode.
4. Enable internet sharing on MacBook.
5. Inform Wii of wireless network.
6. Access Wii Store!

Full data path: Internet -> Verizon Wireless -> CDMA 2000 (1x) -> VX8300 -> Bluetooth -> MacBook -> 802.11g -> Wii.

Operation was a success. Breath of Fire II acquired.
