MCDONALD'S TO OFFER WIRELESS COMBO MEAL
"NEW YORK (AP) - Would you like super-sized Internet access with that burger and fries? In a further sign of the spread of wireless Internet technology, McDonald's 'restaurants in three U.S. cities will offer one hour of free high-speed access to anyone who buys a combination meal. Ten McDonald's in Manhattan will begin offering wireless WiFi, or 802.11b, Internet access on Wednesday, McDonald's spokeswoman Lisa Howard said.'

"By year's end, McDonald's will extend the access to 300 McDonald restaurants in New York City, Chicago and a yet-unannounced California town, Howard said."

I'm suspecting that the "yet-unannounced California town" will be Turlock -- the west coast hotbed of technology (When we moved here about 8 years ago the ONLY "local" public Internet access was two AOL phone numbers out of Modesto). If we start the rumor maybe it will come true.
