    The UK's easyEverything (or easyInternetCafe, or whatever they call themselves) runs large internet cafes (up to 1000 pcs - I think the one in Time Square in NY is the biggest), and every time a user logs out of the pc it reboots and re-images itself. They use a commercial product for that though. And its windows 95 (!) so I'm sure they have a pretty tiny image.

    Hrm, from what i've seen the small towns have the mom and pop stores with a few PCs sitting in the open around a table with custom made software to monitor time, whereas big cities have places like the easyeverything.com where all you see is a keyboard and monitor. But your example was Paris, which is well known for being filled with smaller stores.

    ... and it was pretty fantastic. The seats in there are great :) Plus it's right next to EasyEverything which is another huge bonus, of course.

    See it. It's good. Don't listen to the critical morons. Yes, there are cheesy bits, but on the whole it fleshes out the first movie a great deal.

  4. Gear it to them (but don't miss things out)! by nine9 · · Score: 1 · on Tips for Teaching Seniors About the Internet?
    I work in a large(-ish) chain of internet cafés (easyEverything), and sometimes we get more "mature" customers in. The two main things I've noticed are: (a) they want it to be geared to them (i.e. regarding what they want to do that day); and (b) they actually do appreciate to learn the background of things. UNlike the majority of the younger technoweenies, older people have more experience, and less impatience. They're actually willing to know why something is a particular way, 'cause they know that if they understand how it works that there's less chance that they'll "f*** it up". Old people can often get easily embarassed, so actually that is quite a major point.

    I remember reading somewhere(5 years ago) that by 2000, that all payphones will be changed over to broadband web terminals, what happened to that?

    I think you blinked and missed it. In Amsterdam there were high-speed all-weather web stations clustered with pay phones all over town for the past couple years. Now most of them are gone. I don't think they got a lot of use - I saw lots of people staring at them and taking pictures, but not many actually sidling up to do some surfing.

    Likewise the web kiosks that were placed in shopping malls all over Malaysia have vanished (no great loss, as half of them were displaying BSOD at any given moment).

    Yet both countries have thriving internet cafe cultures. In Amsterdam they've now got what seems to be the largest internet café on earth, and it's been packed every time I've been there (and with its high speeds, ludicrously low charges, comfy workstations with nice LCD screens, and well-kept machines, I'm there quite often).

    I just think people didn't want to do their webbing standing up. And a fair number of them wanted to be able to run telnet, IRC clients, etc., which most of the kiosks don't offer.

  6. Re:Road trips in UK? by Stephen · · Score: 2 · on Net Access on an American Road Trip?
    I am currently travelling around the UK and there are plenty of internet cafes. Any decent sized town has them
    Right, we (Cambridge) have at least 5 in a town of ~120,000.

    One tip about cybercafes: there are five enormous cybercafes in London (and more to come around the UK and Europe, apparently) which are not only open 24 hours but which, last time I checked, were free between (I think) midnight and 10am, and only £1/hour all day.
