away while delayed in airports, waiting for friends and
family, and standing in long lines for last-minute

or more of each day
-- 70 percent of Californians indicate the 405 Freeway on a
Friday afternoon is their biggest time hole

and 10 percent chose the U.S. postal offices as places

one way to take advantage of wasted time. Now millions of
Americans across the country can access e-mail, send and
receive instant messages, check Internet information and
make phone calls, in line, in the airport, or virtually
anywhere.
