This particular Starbucks branch is pretty big, with a large second floor. A number of local groups, such as the Toronto Spanish Group, the “Mompreneurs” and other business networking groups have used it as a meetup location. The WiFi isn’t free, but if you have a Starbucks card with at least a $5 balance, you get two hours’ worth of wifi access at any wifi-equipped Starbucks every day. I myself have 3 such cards.
If you’re a telecommuter, come and hang out for the day! If you work in a nearby office, drop by during your coffee break! I’ll be handing out installer DVDs for the beta version of Windows 7 and ready to talk about Microsoft, programming, technology, the industry in general, accordion, music, whatever! Who knows – we might even start a video chat session with the Calgary Coffee and Code, which will be taking place at the same time out west.

Ah yes, wait till I’m out of town, _then_ hold it near my house 😉
Also if you are a Bell Internet customer you can use your Bell login to access WiFi at Starbucks.
David Janes: Worry not, there’ll be more!
That is the first time I have seen someone embed a Microsoft Virtual Earth map on a website. You really are a Microsoft tech evangelist.
