Looking for free wifi hotspots

I recently bought a small laptop computer, hoping that I could take it on the road with me and get onto the Internet using the free wifi hotspots I’ve been hearing about.  I’ve been seeing McDonald’s restaurants and Panera Bread restaurants with big signs on their windows “free wifi” and I thought that I’d like to be able to pull into one of those places and log into the Internet and check my emails, maybe post a blog or two if I have the time, that sort of thing.

Well, today I pulled into four different McDonald’s restaurants, and only managed to get connected at one of them.  Even though I had found their addresses listed in a directory of free wifi hotspots, I could not get connected!  So I was very disappointed today with that lack of success!
