Have to agree on Panera; I've used their location in Orlando (at
Milennia) to work on some stuff over an iced coffee. Reminds me of
back home in California. :-) Also ridden their connection in Brandon.
Also every Apple Store has at least two open access points that are
free and fast. There's one at International Plaza and two in Orlando
(Milennia and the Florida Mall). Their locations are at
http://www.apple.com/retail. And they won't look down on you
(usually) if you walk in with a Windows or Linux machine (both of
which I've done).
As long as the place supports a VPN client, I can do whatever I like
through it (except for whatever services the company blocks).
Speaking of which, I need to swap out SecurID tags (my new one just
arrived).
Lakeland Public Library has wi-fi; a little slow but useful.
