Cheap(er) Hotels and WiFi at SBL ::
AKMA complains that his hotel charges per CPU for WiFi, so in "All But The Shopping" - his final post from SBL - he was unable to post what he wanted because he was using Margaret's laptop not his own (greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his WiFi for his wife? ;-)The answer is simple and cheap, next time go to a cheaper hotel. Both last year and this I had free WiFi as part of the package at my hotels, not because I looked for it, but because I chose cheaper hotels who use free WiFi (rather than the size of the rooms or the armchairs) as another means to attract custom.
Incidentally, the Harrington Hotel has a burger bar Ollie's Trolley (on the corner of 11th and E) which does the best chips/hot chips/fries I've had - at least of the shoestring sort - as a bonus. Several blocks from the conference, but only two from a shuttle... ¶ 7:32 AM

Good point, Tim; it' a trade-off for shorter walks. Next year we'll be keeping a closer eye on the details (though I believe that the info on the Grand Hyatt gave Margaret the impression that there was in-room cable, for which we brought along my wifi base station).
