Hello all, I was asked to participate in some kind of town hall meeting or research study. I believe it had something to do with the upcoming political campaign. I was told i'd receive $75 just for showing up. It was going to be at the Sheritan Hotel which is downtown Billings Montana. I brought my Braillenote with me to take some notes since I had never participated in such an event before. Apparently, a number of groups were going in and out of the meeting room so had to wait my turn. I was looking forward to participating in this event.
While I waited, I decided to check out the wireless network at the hotel. I could do no wrong! Everything worked beautifully! I scanned for networks and got the SSID of arescom. This was on the third floor of this twenty story hotel. I downloaded all my Email and dealt with it accordingly. Another gentleman sat beside me and I showed him an audio stream which played nicely through my M-power. It was time to go into the room. I was asked to stay back. I was informed that they were going to show videos and it was felt by the presenters that I couldn't learn much from them. There was a 28 page booklet to read and fill out. They were trying to tell me in their own bumbling way they didn't have a reader and the means to pay one. Had they known I couldn't read printed material conveniently, they would have passed me by! I learned that later on. They cheerfully gave me my $75 and sent me on my way. It was the easiest $75 I've earned in my life. While waiting for the cab in the Hotel Lobby, I again check for a wireless network and got one with the SSID of DSH. I could do no wrong with that one either. I was truly impressed. I wrote an Email from the lobby and sent it to a list. When all works well, the M-power is truly a marvel!
