Please don't do that to your computer unless you plan on still respecting it in the morning!

The public library here allows 30min internet use.
The weird thing is that the time remaining is displayed in bold letters on the top of the window and looks like a timebomb will be going off.

haha, life is grand. hmm....how sad does someone have to be for something like this to be the highlight of their day? sigh...

EDIT: i don't think there's a time limit. no real reason for there to be. out of 8 computers i'm the only one using them, aside from the now 2 old guys

Put your hand on the old man's leg and say "Hello Sailor" then you can have the whole joint to yourself:)

i know, i went over to the fiction center and though they really haven't filled this place with many books yet, it's a hell of a lot more than the old one, and less crowded. finally, some place i feel at home

EDIT: forgot to add- i love fiction but i hated the old library and bringing books home to read.

sounds nice, congrats...at first I thought you were posting wirelessly, but I guess you're just on a regular computer, eh? hehe, if you're bored, you can go and hide stuff throughout the library and play scavenger hunt with your drunk friends later.

I have no idea why I just posted that...odd.

Wowwwwww
The City moved the old library to a new building and it is humungous. :D

There are several Dell P4's.

I just checked dsl reports and look what i found:
Your download speed : 2261794 bps, or 2261 kbps.
A 276 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 3120124 bps, or 3120 kbps

Everything(the tables, chairs, quiet rooms, computer labs) is so expensive here.
