Silly Internet Cafe
Five minutes into my internet session, I went to go press Return to begin a Google search. But on this keyboard (a different one from last night, much easier to type on) there are, inexplicably, three keys between the Page Down block and the arrow keys. Those three keys are Power, Sleep and Wake. And Power means what it says---it powers down immediately.
So I lost my search string, but I learned that when you power the machine back on and enter the code you used to begin the current session (50p/30 min), it starts back from the beginning. So that’s really 50p/unlimited internet. :-P
Sadly, though, I can’t get terminal access, so I can’t check my e-mail, since said e-mail is on a machine in Cupertino. Oh, well; I’ll have that all settled tomorrow.
