Warning - middle-aged tech idiot approaching ...
Is there any way to get a Macbook onto the "free" wifi access points such as those at Pacific Coffee? All I can get is a demand from PCCW for my account and password, which apparently I shouldn't need. Are there any places where Macs can get online hassle-free?
On friends' wifi networks (all PCCW) I can get onto the LANs with no problems but connecting through to the internet just doesn't happen. It's easy enough in Macau, or even on mainland - I just have to select the network I want from the Airport dropdown list and then provide a password if needed.
Serious penny-pinching going on here until the pay starts coming in (when the work permit does), so I'd prefer not to have to pony up for my own G3 modem for a couple of months yet!
