Published January 16th, 2008 in random, travel

With today’s wireless availability and fast ethernet connections to the internet virtually available everywhere I have totally forgotten how painful the internet was with dialup access… but, right now, I’m sitting in a coffee shop in San Francisco that of all things doesn’t have wifi (not even paid wifi) using by Verizon 3G wireless modem thingy, and the speeds on it are so painfully slow it’s taken me 5 minutes to load a web page in salesforce.com … ugh… I think I’m getting up to go find a Starbucks.
