This one is for you Dustin... :-)

From a newspaper article in the Sun-Sentinel

If you want to visit Steve Mullins at his "office," go to the Borders bookstore in Plantation any weekday afternoon. Hang a right into the coffee bar and look for a stocky blond guy with a Macintosh G4 on one of the two grayish-teal leather couches in the corner, the most comfortable seats in the house.

Mullins, 36, is worship pastor at Sawgrass Fellowship, a Baptist congregation that meets in Sunrise. He rotates among three wireless, or Wi-Fi, hotspots, using them as his virtual office, where he can check e-mails and exchange MP3 music files with church band members.

The T-Mobile account, which costs him $30 per month, works in at least 67 Starbucks outlets, 10 Borders and 22 FedEx Kinko's in South Florida. Mullins, who doesn't have a physical office, says the cost is worth it: He gets a stimulating environment, comfy couch, and "the coffee is always on."
