[P1] Tmobile hotspot

[Don Hinkle]

So far <chuckle>, I've only used the free hour they gave me. But I have 
the deal where I only pay when/if I use it, and I think that's the 
rate, about $6/hr. After I signed on for T-mobile I found a local 
deli/coffee shop where the owner's son is a Mac-head and they provide 
free connection.
