Wireless Boonies

I've been in Amarillo since Wednesday visiting family for Thanksgiving, and all both of the Starbucks in Amarillo don't have T-Mobile wireless access. Can ya believe it? The noive of some Starbucks. I must say that I was lucky the golf pro shop next door didn't know how to properly secure their wireless router. At least I got to check my email :)

I'll be here until Sunday, and then it's back home to catch up on almost 2 weeks worth of work, what with MAX immediately followed by Thanksgiving with no high speed internet access :). Portland Amarillo most definitely is not :).

Dan, SLC Starbucks didn't have wireless either. I checked the day after MAX was over.

What on earth were they thinking??? Luckily there was wireless all over MAX, and the hotel I stayed at had it as well. I didn't go through withdrawals there :)

Starbucks? I've heard about those, but we don't have any here. They tried to build one down around Pass Manchac once, but it sank back into the swamp. :/ We don't have Mobile-T either or whatever that is. Maybe we should try sonar.
