So I walked around trying a little to find a computer I could do some transferring, but still nothing simple. I made it to a small restaurant and decided to try the Fondue. It was 21 Franks, but it's a specialty, right? There was a suggestion to add Jacket Potatoes (In the UK this would be a big baked potato with various fillings, sometimes served as a meal) for 4.50, and I was hungry so why not? Well, a big bowl of small chunks of bread showed up, then the fondue, then the potatoes. These were NOT jacket potatoes. There were a handful of new potatoes, it seriously seemed like the kitchen had to hold back and gave me literally a half bowl of tiny potatoes, each one basically bite-size. So after eating half the potatoes and several pieces of bread with the cheese I simply had to ask for the menu because there was no way I'd get enough to eat. Add on a plain omelet for 12 Franks and I finally had a good size meal with one large beer for only 45 Francs. Let's see Rachel Ray try and do $40 a day in Switzerland with enough balanced calories to bike 40 miles on consecutive days.
After dinner I found a bar/café with a few computers that I was able to do some file transfer. Apparently I'd just gotten lucky though and the computer ended up closing out the applications and logging off sometime after I started the file transfer. I then asked about using the computers without using the internet (prices shown implied being for internet not computer use) after already having purchased a 9 Frank Sangria but they couldn't figure out how to let me use the computer without paying and it would've cost 9 Franks per 30min of use, and I like I said, it takes 42min to free up just one of my 16GB SD cards and I had four full cards by that time. Nevermind.
