Can you use a USB stick at the internet cafe to load them from?

All of the sims should easily fit on any memory stick: total size of my SimSig folder is < 100Mb and the smallest memory stick you normally see these days is 2Gb. Because of the font issue you would need to download the System Files executable and save it on the memory stick as well. Once at the internet cafe, run that executable off the memory stick, launch your favourite sim, and you're away.

Used my initiative and looked at the PC World web-site. It is unlikely that PC World will be the cheapest source, but they are advertising 2Gb USB memories from £5.99. Why not take a walk along Tottenham Court Road next time you are up west.

An additional thought: check before you start that your local internet cafe lets you use a memory stick. Also check that you are/can be logged on as administrator in order to do the font install.
