Dual 2.2GHz powered by AMD Opteron - *Sends G5 & 8Gb Ram to scrap heap* Yeah! finally switched BACK!
I can already access the net in a various StarBucks, Pacific Coffee (via Netvigator Wireless Broadband) or in various Metro station that are dotted around Hong Kong. Coffee shops here tend to have 3-6Mbit connections, sometime they're faster still!! Most also sports free terminals but they have a time restriction... 15-20 mins.

All you need is a AirPort card or BlueTooth (or a WiFI card, if your on Windows.) Whichever service you choose, they are ALL FREE!

Free Internet terminals:
Pacific Coffee.
Starbucks
MTR Corp.
