Re: (erielack) test
Here in Bryant Park we have lots of open WiFi connections, so one can sit in
the part behind the library and read the test messages (and the rest).
For those west of the Hudson, Bryant Park is at 40-42nd and Sixth Ave.
Of course, Rick is uptown opposite the NYS&W/Erie Terminals.
Cheers,
Jim Guthrie (just back from a quick visit to the Library)
