I thought his June 29th column http://www.cnet.com/4520-13386_1-6744577-1.html?ta g=inside on getting connected on the road was pretty blah, mentioning internet cafes, ISP/cell phone vendor services and sniffer appliances as ways to find internet access for your portable device. I think slashdotters will have a hundred additional ideas that I could benefit from learning about. Read the article, then post your own ideas about how to get on line on the road FOR FREE. my idea: public libraries. If it's nice outside you can usually log on from the parking lot with fewer noisy young people to contend with; if it's hot and sweaty, put up with the kids and enjoy the AC.
