Wifi
Last summer I used to do a little bit of traveling, and took my laptop with me so that if I got the time to get online from time to time I could try to find a free wifi spot and do some blogging or check my email, or maybe just do some browsing around.
I had heard that several places offered free wifi – Borders, Panera Bread and McDonald’s for example. I used to go to McDonald’s a lot, so I would use their free wifi. Since then I’ve discovered that a lot of hospitals offer free wifi as well. I’ve heard that some libraries offer it, too.
Yesterday I went to McDonald’s for lunch and wanted to hop on the Internet. I was disappointed to learn that McDonald’s now charges $2.95 for a two hour block of wifi access. It’s not hard to do, you just enter your credit card number and off you go, but it is disappointing just the same.
