California part IIII, the cafe blues

It is a bit frustrating not being able to access my email. The one cybercafe I found in Salinas, Rollick's, has their security set up such that I cannot access my email. WTF?

The counter help just shrugs when asked what can be done. As a result, I may have to seek out a less convenient location or wait until I get back to LA, as I have full access to everything at Planet Cyber on Topanga Canyon, where they use a different Cafe software package (from TinaSoft).

Rollick's uses something called SmartLaunch, but I think it is more an issue of my using a paid guest account, where their security settings are more strict. I will see about a membership.

Considered contacting some more local friends last night, even at least one new one, but the lack of email was a hindrance.
