1. A configurable computing system, comprising:

  • a computer device;

    a network antenna;

    an IEEE 802.11 network interface;

    a camera comprising an optical sensor;

    and non-transitory computer readable memory having program instructions stored thereon that when executed by the computing device cause the system to at least;

    read a barcode using the camera, the barcode comprising encoded data;

    utilize information encoded in the read barcode to access an IEEE 802.11 network password;

    use the accessed IEEE 802.11 network password to enable the configurable computing system to access a local IEEE 802.11 wireless network without the user having to manually key in an IEEE 802.11 network password for the local IEEE 802.11 wireless network on the configurable computing system,wherein the configurable computing system does not have a display greater than ten inches diagonal.
