Marriott Connection
My wife and I recently celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary with a trip to Desert Palm Springs. We stayed at the J. W. Marriott Desert Springs resort. I've purchased the high speed Internet service before but this time the deal included free long distance and local calls for the $9.95 a day. I decided to bite since the kids were at home and we'd probably be making calls to check up on them.
The connection was great and we were able to stay connected with IM as well. I really like the presence part of IM - being able to tell if someone's online or not. Three of my kids have their own screen name so that makes tracking them on the computer a little easier. With work contacts it is really handy to just fire off a sentence or two and get an instant response.
My next wish is for the History Channel and similar cable outlets to make some of their programming available over the Web. We don't have cable and that would be a slick way to pick up some of their content. They've got clips on there but I want to watch an entire series - I'd even be willing to pay for that service. Not sure what a good price point would be for such programming though.
