Oh wow I've always wanted to sit at a Mcdonalds and surf the web at the same time... I feel bad for people who can't be without the internet long enought to go eat at Mcdonalds.

Apologies if I affended anyone

Awesome.

"Would you like some WiFi with your fries?"

I'd probably go into Mickey D's just for free WiFi.

Oh and I wonder what kind of internet content filter they will have set up. Heaven forbid a family restaurant like McDonald's would have uncensored internet! :eek:

Bizarre, here in Argentina that's no news at all, there are Mcdonalds with computers and nintendo64s
Though, the internet used is not wireless, but broadband instead (512k or 1mb i think)
