Just thought you'd like to know
I'm sitting in my (locally owned) urban village coffee shop, which has free Wi-Fi, and of the 14 laptops that are feeding off the Internet at this moment, 11 of them are either iBooks or Powerbooks, with iBooks being in the majority. :-)

2. No, I used to have the oldest one,
an indigo iBook with only one USB until I traded it in for a new iBook that weighs about half as much in September 2004.

3. I tried to log on to WiFi with my Powerbook
in the Boston and Chicago airports yesterday. Boston wanted money bucks or no go, and Chicago had shit -- one crummy little booth at the ass end of nowhere -- and it cost 60 cents a minute to use it. That sucks. Did not use or pay for either. Corporate america sucks.

Lets hear it for the coffee shops of the planet that offer wifi for freee -- it is so convenient to check in that way when you are on the road.

4. If you're ever in the Twin Cities, all Dunn Brothers coffee shops
have free wi-fi. And they roast everything on site!
