The answer for Stubby's, IMO, is free Wi-Fi during off-peak hours.

My second pet peeve is the lack of receptacles to plug into to charge my laptop get a new dual core laptop, battery life is much improved.

Wi-fi isn't really free. When you check into a hotel, the cost of providing Internet service is folded into your bill.

One of my pet peeves is being charged for WiFi when I'm stuck in an airport terminal, particularly when my flight is delayed. My T-Mobile account gives me access to their hotspots (when I encounter them, or through my cellphone when there aren't any hotspots available.

get a new dual core laptop, battery life is much improved.I'd love to replace my Powerbook with a new Macbook Pro but the darned thing doesn't want to die. Four years and going strong. But the battery life is lousy.

At Panera or Starbucks if you pay you're paying more for taking up a seat for 2 hours than you are for WIFI.

To: Mark was here
We went in there and saw a list of things on the wall and I had no clue as to what they were selling. LOL!! I know just what you mean! I got a Panera card as a gift and decided to go to lunch one day by myself. I had to call my husband (who is much more familiar with the menu) to ask him what I wanted.
I ordered some sort of turkey sandwich and crossed my fingers. It was pretty good.
