aussiew Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I will be in Buff for the weekend of June 4 to go to the festivities at the Ralph. Tickets for the Bills/Packers scrimmage game go on sale at 10am on June 4th and we all know those things will sell out probably the same day. I want to buy at least 2 because I am trying to go to it. That Saturday AM I will be near Ridge Road and 90. I don't have lap top. Is there anyone will let me come to their house and get online so I can purchase these tickets? Or Can anyone tell me where I can get computer/internet access so I can do it? The girlfriend I'm staying with has internet but her PC is on the blink. HELP.

There's a Bon-Ton store and M&T bank branch as a reference. The library is about a 1/4 mile up Union on the left (west) side. Here is a link: http://www.buffalolib.org/libraries/westseneca/index.asp

If nothing closer presents itself let me know or I can do it over the phone for you if you want to give me a call that morining.

aussiew Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 The Library is a great alternative (thanks Carmel Corn), but I'm afraid getting these tickets online will be subject to a lot of delays etc., and Libraries usually have a time limit. Thesir? Kind sir, this a great offer and I would definitely drive to Amherst. If nothing closer is offered - I'll PM you.
aussiew Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 Aren't you supposed to stay 500 ft from women? That's OK T. I'm not a woman - I'm a grandmother.

aussiew Posted May 18, 2005 Author Posted May 18, 2005 Ooooh - lots of options now. Thanks everyone for your help.
theesir Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Aren't you supposed to stay 500 ft from women? 339311[/snapback] That expired a couple of months ago... ....... Just in case anyone doesn't realize it.... I'm kidding!
Beerball Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Ooooh - lots of options now. Thanks everyone for your help. 339468[/snapback] Stay away from tater. He likes to sit neked when he uses the computer. It could be a house rule.

Fezmid Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I wouldn't recommend using a public comp to make online purchases unless you know how to clean temp, cache, etc. Credit card fraud is at an all time high. 339670[/snapback] Most credit cards let you generate "one-use" numbers with a set dollar amount*. She could create one of those, set the value at $20, and then use that at a public terminal. If someone tries using the same number later, there won't be any money left to use. Overall though, I agree - typing any sensitive info on a public terminal (even email username/passwords) is a no-no. CW * I've never tried this before, but I know my MBNA card provides this as a free service.
aussiew Posted May 19, 2005 Author Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks all - Since it's close (and probably secure) I'll probably just go to Tater's office and keep my eyes lowered at all times.
Typical TBD Guy Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks all - Since it's close (and probably secure) I'll probably just go to Tater's office and keep my eyes lowered at all times. 339890[/snapback] Or rather, keep your eyes up towards the ceiling at all times. Gravity has not been kind to Tater's body....
