Subject: Re: [SLUG] WiFI Ripoff
Steve is correct.. also the Public Library also has
free WiFi.. but like the Lakeland WiFI... it restricts
you from the IM Clients.. I suppose that they dont
want the kiddies sucking down their bandwidth..
I didnt test the limits of the envelope there, as I
was busy.. but will next time..
Panera's WiFi Rocks.. have been there on serveral
occasions.. now if we could only convince Borders to
have free WiFi.. my life would be complete.. coffee..
books/Tux Magazines.. and Surfing.. what more could
you ask for ? :)
Peace,
Mark
