Barns and Noble Wireless and "GMAIL"! How much Better can Life Get???

Today is a good day.



Not only did my favorite "off day haunt", Barns and Noble Bookstore, finally get their "WIFI" up and running (WIFI=Wireless High Speed Internet).....I also got an invitation to join Google's "GMAIL service" which is an online email service run by Google that gives one 1 GBT of space and is completely free (and the newest cool thing on the net)!!



More info on both:



Barns and Noble WIFI:



For 19.95 a month (or a single 2 hour block for 2 hours) one can connect their laptop to the internet at broadband speeds in any of the Barns and Noblle Bookstores plus almost all McDonalds restaurants and other hotspots. I just signed up for the 19.95 a month membership.



Info:

Stay connected and save money with an SBC membership for the FreedomLinkSM network (via FreedomLink wireless connection from SBC Internet Services). With an SBC Membership, you'll get unlimited high-speed access to the Internet, e-mail, and your company's network at FreedomLink hot spots.

Basic Membership: $19.95 per month, with a one-year agreement.



Premier Membership: $39.95 per month for expanded connectivity, with a one-year agreement.







Gmail:

If you haven't already heard about Gmail, it's a new search-based webmail service that offers:- 1,000 megabytes (one gigabyte) of free storage- Built-in Google search that instantly finds any message you want- Automatic arrangement of messages and related replies into "conversations"- Text ads and related pages that are relevant to the content of your messagesGmail is still in an early stage of development. But If you set up an account, you'll be able to keep it even after we make Gmail more widely available. We might also ask for your comments and suggestions periodically and we appreciate your help in making Gmail even better.Thanks,The Gmail Team

My day is good. What about everyone else???



Thanskgiving is coming up shortly. I have to work on that day and it looks like the restaurant will be very busy. I do have the three days prior to the holiday off and I may just take a road trip up to my hometown (Wisconsin Rapids) to visit my brothers and sisters and stop at my mom's gravesite. It has been way too long since I have been up there.



Time to head out to the Barns and Noble and test out this WIFI that I just paid for.



Happy Thursday to all.
