I'm not a VIP so I can't send or receive PMs. Is your recommendation really such a secret?

I've used internet cafes around Manhattan with the bolted on monitors and the possibility that someone is looking over your shoulder. Very annoying. I keep a couple of windows open including a full-size generic (yahoo, newspaper, sports - entertainment) window and I keep the hobby window kind of small. In a pinch, I just slide the mouse, click anyplace on the full-size window and all is covered up by the latest news about Lindsay Lohan or a Wall Street scandal.

In case others aren't aware of it, FedEx-Kinkos and some other places that provide computer rentals with internet access block a lot of sites that they disapprove of, including TER. I tried using a proxy to get around the block but FedEx blocks the proxies, too.
