Recently, I found this map of public computing facilities in Spokane County, Washington through the The Inland Northwest Community Access Network (TINCAN) website.

I thought we needed a map like this here in Cambridge, so I created a map of Public Computers in Cambridge using Map Builder.net. Most of the listings come from the City's Free Public Access to Computers document (PDF attached below).

If there's a public computer facility in Cambridge that's not on the list, please send me an email at colin (AT) cctvcambridge (DOT) org and I'll try to add it to the map.
