"Volk" (in German) simply means a "folk", or a "people" (e.g. of a country or race). It's spelt with a capital "V" because in German, nouns are spelt with capitals. You would argue that "VolksCafe" is actually just the "people's cafe", just the same as "Volkswagen" split into its constituent words translates to "people's car". It's a Germanic name for the cafe, because its intended target customers are those who like German engineering. Tim -- To err is human, to forgive, beyond the scope of the Operating System.
