The Berkeley Beacon

Issue date: 9/22/05 Section: Lifestyle

Tired of trying to study while your roommate insists on "practicing" his bagpipes? Sick of the social scene in the Emerson library? Try thinking outside the box (which aptly describes your usual study space). The answer is right before your eyes, but you might not see it: free wireless Internet service, offered by tech-savvy stores, coffeehouses and caf\'8es all over the city. Infuse your work with more creativity (and your brain with some much-needed caffeine) by taking a trip with your trusty laptop to one of these hot spots.
