Well, that's actually pretty useful!  I've decided that I can't afford 
the big vacations, but I still need to get away, so I've started taking 
"working vacations" in a ski resort near my home.  The WiFi there is 
rock solid and free, but the session timeout is 20 minutes.  So, it 
means going through one of those pages every time I want to check my 
email! 

Based on the feedback I've heard, though, maybe I'll wait until the next 
rev :)

P.S.  To anyone who doesn't happen to live near nice ski resorts...
nyah-nyah-nyah :P
