Beehive Chemical Meadowbrook (my 1st bank) Bank Of N Y

& about 3 gazzilion more (kinda like airlines)

I've been with the same bank here in Sarasota since 72

although under 5 or 6 different names

On of my favorites was the former Anchor Bank...they had the hilarious "Anchor Banker" TV spots that would air on WOR late at night...couldn't find any on the web though...

Bank of NY is still there...going strong...

While the T-Mo login is not as easy, it doesn't get bogged down like the CO WiFi with multiple users. I've been in that SFO PC and watched literally one other user bring the entire WiFi to a crawl.

WIFI is now free for everyone at SFO.

CO PClub wifi was great at the E club last week as well, I normally break out the sprint mobile hotspot, but not last week ^

Sorta kinda...both prohibit pork...but with halal ("permitted" in Arabic) you can eat shellfish (except most shi'ites, who only eat shrimp and prawns).

Also, Islam does not prohibit mixing meat and dairy, as is the case with Kosher.

Finally, alcohol is a total no-no in Islam and is strictly haram ("forbidden" in Arabic)...

Of course, you have to wonder what all this means when Israel has huge pork farms and you can get sloshed silly in the chic hangouts of Beirut...

What it means is that not all people in Beirut are halal nor are all of those in Haifa kosher.

Does that mean there is a time limit for its use

The free public one has a 45-minute time on it.

The one at the RCC is the standard T-Mo RCC setup (24 hours on your card), or unlimited for RCC members.

So if you're on for more than 45 minutes, I wouldn't count on the free SFO wifi.

Yup...you get 45 minutes free and then the connection is cut. IAH has something similar as does BOS. You can pay for longer or otherwise work around the problem with shenanigans if so inclined. But the base free connection is limited.

Can you reconnect after a period of time or is it once a day

CHIC SILBER Oct 4, 2010 8:16 am

TPA & SRQ
 
Both Tampa & Sarasota have terminal wide free access

I've never been on long enough to know if there is a limit

The Times Square area (from 42nd to 47th) has service

that has improved greatly recently (& little tables & chairs)
