Possibilities

Cyber Cafe at Hurlingham,Arwings Kodhek Rd,NYAKU House.The cyber is part of Kent Pharmaceuticals Ltd.I met Dr.Nyaga,the proprietor who has offered us the opportunity.The place is very secure and has reliable power and internet.They use Microsoft XP for their OS.I totally fell in love with the place!They would offer us up to 10 computers which also have Skype! dr.Nyaga agreed we could install the mapping Software.he asked me for the specifics of the size of the software and other specifics that may help him plan in avance.

Dr.Nyaga,after much negotiations,has agred we could use our printer from the premises,though he'll have to know the number of paers we are likely to print in a day.Could you help me with this info please?With this I will be able to get the final costing of hiring and using the facilities.we will be required to pay for this upfront.
