What's eccentric about that ?

From the Fields Medal citation for Tim Gowers:

Banach was an eccentric, preferring to spend his time in the café rather than in his office in the University of Lvov

sounds reasonable to me...

    Umm... not having wireless might have been the actual reason he preferred the cafe.
