We've had it for a year or so, and I've yet to actually take a laptop or PDA to McDonald's, while desperately needing internet.

is it legal to call that a big mac ? (the version in this country)

as the mcdonalds personnel says, its aimed at business users,but some of us ordinary public want access to the net there and then.

Good idea, bring your laptop to McDonalds so that the little teenage muggers can see if it's worth nicking as they eat?
....I predict that the theft of laptops will go up
