First, it was the Chicago Urban League. Then the University of Chicago.
What am I talking about?
This strange habit of stopping services that are good for the community. There was a time when computer rooms for public access were everywhere. There was the need to get the general public interested in the PC.
Now it is getting harder and harder to find such places since the majority of them have shut down, to save money.
For a while I have worked this blog at my favorite spot, IIT in Chicago. For a short time, access to all the computers in the Library was granted. Until now.
Apparently, they slipped in the usual program blocking "public" (freeloaders, like me) access, cutting down the number of computers available from 30 to 6. Early bird gets the computer.
After all, the Mother's Milk crew need they're computer time. How cute!
So I might have to go back to using the Public Library's older and nearly obsolete models. Talk about slow!
Why, if I had half-a-mind (can anyone tell me just what the hell that means?) I'd form a sit-at-a-computer strike.
And get my ass arrested and forgotten in lockup! Might not be a good idea.
Click on my new business offer at the left side, top. You might find it interesting. I do. And there always is my good old business site.
See ya When I See Ya!

Homeless,
I hear the iPhone's are all the rage. Just go into a Panera and enjoy free internet access for the rest of your young life.

Duster,
In the words of the Immortals "Money, Money Money....Mon-eee! Some people...really need it!"
Buy a hundred of my calling cards and I might be able to put a down payment on the iPhone, Babeee!
Love and Kisses
