Dave, hi and good morning!

Greetings from Munich.  I am here picking up a new BMW 5er, and staying at
the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza on the Leopoldstrasse in Schwabing, near where
I lived attending University here.

Anyway, to the point: Wi-Fi is coming through my window from somewhere out
on the Leopoldstrasse.  And it's from a company called megabeam, which is
offering free connections through end of month.

It has many major metropolitan areas covered (see http://www.megabeam.com
for details) but since Germany hotels change ca. 35 Euro cents per minute
for local calls, this has been a great find.

Best.
