ZDNet reports that Barnes & Noble have teamed with AT&T to offer free WiFi access in their stores nation-wide. They've done away with subscription fees at the stores and will not require a purchase to enjoy it there.I've always enjoyed going to B&N and while it'll be nice to be able to take my old laptop there to enjoy the Wi-Fi , I've not needed it when I had my Kindle, with its own always available, albeit slowww (but free), cellular wireless access. But it'll be another reason to visit there. May B&N do well, always be available (unlike Borders) and keep Amazon on its toes.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
