amtrak has a clue, offering power plugs on every seat. this made the trip from NYC to boston a bit more productive, although i mostly slept through it to compensate for the redeye. i had less luck in boston. the wifi coverage is really not all that great, and it turns out, hotels are $150 up. asking about internet access, they offered me a dialup. WTF? in the end i found a good park bench with wifi though. tomorrow i’m gonna look out for an apartment. i need one of these.
