Google WiFi for utter idiots

OK, I didn't think this would work. How am I able to do this?
I am a techno-peasant. I turn things on. If they don't work, I get puzzled. I don't know what an SSID network name is. I don't know what 802.1 is (even though I have it). I know qwerty, that's it.
Yet somehow I am writing in my lime-green VW Beetle, with my laptop crammed between my steering wheel and my knees to describe my small miracle. I parked under a tree on Horizon Avenue in Mountain View, across the street from a Google WiFi node, fully expecting it to take so long for me to figure it out that I would overheat and die if there were no shade.
Damn, I could have done this with one pinkie finger hunting and pecking on the keyboard. All I did was turn the thing on and launch the browser. Voila! Google WiFi page open and ready for my log in.
This, from a person who didn't know that there was a "reset" button on her parents' garbage disposal, thus necessitating a $45 visit from the handyman.
Technology this easy was so exciting to this mere peasant meant I had to click on the first thing I saw, hence, blogger, hence this missive.
I just had to share.
Excuse me while I drive around the neighborhood with my new toy....
