And while I was out this way...

First, the bad news.  The Javascript clickthrough page I complained about at the Legends location is apparently a systemwide "feature" now.  That and a user agreement that takes longer to read than eating your dinner are downers.  (Just as an aside, if that agreement actually reflects the attitude of Panera's corporate management and isn't just bought-and-paid-for legal boilerplate, they really need to think about whether they truly even want to continue offering Internet access-before, not after, they're faced with having to try and enforce it.)  On the up side, power outlets abound along the walls and the tinted windows might help with screen readability in full daylight (it's just now 7 p. m.).

And just to see what would happen...I fired up Java and jumped onto bipolarworld.net's site to try the chatrooms and guess what?  Here's another network administered by people who don't think that keeping port 7000 open is dangerous.  Gee, you'd have thought from that user agreement that someone from the KCMO Library's IT department would be moonlighting for them.
