At last!
auckland Koru Club, after years of requests, now had broadband access for laptops. Oh the joy. Not only do you get normal speed Internet, I don't have to pay for additional charges of dialing in to my ISP on a broadband account.
Even better they say they will have wireless in a few months. Hopefully this will happen at Wellington Airport also.
I am currently at Auckland Airport incidentially. So far the only budget news I have heard is from text messages being:
1) Obscene level of surplus
2) Lots more spending on the roads, and the Greens are wailing
3) don brash gave a great speech
