I'm stuck here in Miami waiting for my connecting flight to DC. Fired up my computer to check my mail expecting to go through a bunch of crap figuring out how to get internet access via one of the many hotspot services. Lo and behold, Skype pops up a message box and says it can connect automatically (for $0.19 per minute). I click OK and voila, I'm on the internet. Couldn't have been simpler. The menu bar icon even shows you how long you've been connected:



I suppose I could find something cheaper, but you can't beat the convenience.
