Cyber cafes, from the ones I've visited (mostly in
Europe), are small offices like the ones in strip
malls that are outfitted with anywhere from a couple
to 30 P.C.'s that you can pay by the hour for use.
Some are extremely cheap while others charge what
seems to be by the keystroke.  The best one I used
was at a place in Versaille which was a combination
pub and cyber cafe.  Real nice owners...

The worst wasn't really a cyber-cafe per-se.  It
was a PC in a hotel that accepted credit cards.
Needless to say, my time spent on it was as
brief as possible.

Vanagon content: While relocating cross country in
my '91 Westy, we stopped mostly at libraries to
catch up on email and to research our next
destinations.

Cheers!

Steven
