No one wants to pay for it. If you want me to spend a prolonged period of time, on a regular basis in you establishment you are going to need to provide me with a free means of connecting to the internet.<BR/> <BR/>Otherwise I will just stay home.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503469831507128127noreply@blogger.com
