For those wondering about using this service...it's super easy. I am impressed. The hardest part is using the French keyboard but I'm figuring out what's different and not making too many mistakes. Wonder how long it will take me to re-learn when I get home? (Hints: the @ key is obtainted by hitting the CTRL and ALT keys at the same time and then the key with the character; anything else on the lower right corner of the key uses the same CTRL/ALT conbination; numbers require the shift key or else use the key pad.)<BR><BR>Price is 5 ? for 1 day; 10 ? for 1 week; and 20 ? for 30 days.<BR><BR>The Easy Internet is just a couple buildings down from my hotel on La Rue de la Harpe. I can see it from my hotel balcony. I also plan to use it in London. (Do they use the QWERTY keyboard in the UK? I hope....)

hi<BR><BR>I live in France. <BR><BR>The @ key is available from ALT Gr (right from the space bar) + @ on an IBM PC - macs may be different. Otherwise it's tricky to find Q and W !<BR><BR>You can check Email in larger French post offices.

I just got back from Paris and used Easy Everything to send Email. That french keyboard was a pain to use. I was forever hitting the wrong key. You have to know to use that CTRL/ALT key as mentioned above since some keys have 3 functions. The Easy Everyrthing store at St Michel was a pain in the neck because it was always very crowded. I used the one at 31/37 Boulevard de SŽbastopol which was less congested.<BR><BR>Easy everything also has a websight at www.easyeverything.com

P.S. The cost at Easy Everything was about 30 minutes use for 1 euro. This varys by hour and the number of people using machines. Obviously the busiest hours with the highest demand had the highest cost.

I just returned from a few weeks in Paris, and realized that I mastered the French keyboard, now I have to re-learn this one!

What about living in Paris for a few months and doing an ebay business out of the apartment - going to a cyber cafe would hardly be convenient. Is the other option then to subscribe to a per minute service? Has anyone done this?

Oh, Richard, I am so sorry that some remote tribes insist on using an "annoying", ie non American keyboard. And you know what, I've been told that a few hundred millions of Spanish or German speakers also have the cheek to use a different keyboard. How dare they ?

Oh Vincent, when you have a few minutes that are ticking away and a shoret amount of time to send an Email, hunting and pecking is not easy. Whats your problem dude...???
