The hut does have tables, two couches, electrical outlets and fair
coffee.  However, it's a bit of a "scene" place with musicians and
poets.  During the day, it's generally dead and quiet; unemployed
artists and college students are still in bed!  Most evenings, though,
are loud, have an event planned, or both.  The help sometimes isn't.

There's also panera bread on rte 9 in shrewsbury.
Interestingly enough, Arby's in auburn has comfy booths, delicious
seasoned curlies and free wifi!  There's only one or two booths with a
plug near them but it's generally quiet and I've stayed until a little
before closing a few times with no trouble.

All the local libraries I've been to, southbridge, oxford, auburn have
public terminals available for an hour or two's use per day.  I
haven't run into any trouble bringing putty in on a floppy or cd.  I
have been asked what I was doing, but then left alone.
