Bypassing the Toll Booth (#19)

I'm sitting in a Starbucks in Decatur, GA. bypassing the overpriced T-Mobile hotspot in favor of a somewhat weaker, but free, access point named "linksys". Gotta love the neighbors around here.

I'm here with my friend Bryant Hodgson. Bryant has his old Win98 laptop and a T-Mobile daypass and I'm helping him with his first mobile WiFi experience. But I got to the Starbucks a little before Bryant and sat down next to the only electrical outlet in the building, booted up my laptop and surveyed the available access points. Lucky for me some kindhearted neighbor of the Starbucks is running a LinkSys router in default mode, offering a friendly bypass to the T-Mobile toll bridge.
