First it was "no cellphones," now it may be "no laptops." BoingBoing recently spotted this restriction at an Austin restaurant.
We here at Core wonder, will this be a trend, or an anomaly? Have any of you, in other cities, seen similar things? If so, please respond in the comments. Thanks!

With free WiFi *everywhere* it was really easy to plop down anywhere and hop in the interweb.
I will confess that I had my laptop on the table at Champs for a short time to look up schedules.
The fact is, this is a cafeteria at the 2007 SXSW Interactive Conference in Austin, on the third floor of the Austin Convention Center. All they did was reserve a table for dining only. There were lots of other tables that were crammed with laptop users.
But that's not nearly as interesting, is it?
