Abstract
A retail establishment providing user access to the Internet or other information providing sources includes software which allows uses to indicate preferences of which content providing sources should be accessed, in which order and for how long. In this manner, the user is allowed to preselect content to which he or she will be exposed. The selection may occur at an initial registration time or during the retail transaction. The software is especially adapted for use in a fueling environment. The software includes additional features such as printing and allowing a user to access the content from inside a car.
