The pre-May 15 "out the wazoo" convention rates are considerably less than daily rates. I went with Sara's plan and signed up for a month of T-Mobile. I now have permission from myself to take my laptop to Starbuck's for a month to check e-mail. I'll schedule an extra 1/3 tuning when I get home to pay for it. :-) Dave Davis Renton (a Starbuck's on every corner), Washington ----- Original Message ---- From: John Formsma <formsma at gmail.com> To: Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 4:55:44 AM Subject: Re: wifi in lobby Oh good grief! You'd think that paying out the wazoo would at least get "free" wired hi-speed internet. I'll be walking to Panera Bread then. "Croissant and 1 MB of internet, please."
