Me and my wife use the Clorox or Lysol wipes around the house for everything, they are really great. They both have disinfectant in them but you can just use them for daily cleaning too. I clean off all of my laptops and desktop keyboard and mice all the time with them (I have Macbook Pros and a Macbook in black and it does not leave any bad marks).
Only problem with them is getting the first one out of the middle of the bottle to get it through the dispenser. What I have found that works every time is to just use a tweezers to get the first sheet out then you will not need to do it again for the roll.
Good luck.
I recently got the Dell 30" display and it's awesome. It might be a cool idea to have a couple of extra "pimped" systems with the Dell 30" to play on with SLI and all that jazz. I'll tell ya, Counter Strike Source at 2560X1600 looks pretty great (as does WoW)! Maybe you could charge a few extra bucks to play on the really nice systems and it could be a thing that gets people to come into your shop to see the boutique machines. Maybe even have a little spec sheet next to the computer talking about all of the parts that are on it, what type of RAM, what speed, what type of HDD and if it's RAID or not, the video cards and how much memory they have, etc. This could get people to come in and talk about your stuff and then stick around to do some gaming and buy some drinks and so forth.
When I was in college I worked a Office Depot and would always get punks coming into the store and messing up the computers (that was Windows 3.1 days). Anyhow, learn how to lock those systems down tight or there will be lots of admin you'll need to do.
The pool table is a good idea.
Having good computers would be a big plus as a lot of people just can't afford computers today that need 650W power supplies and 500$ video cards and a couple of gigs of RAM so if you have that they could play some of the newer games with lots of the eye candy turned on. If you could get some Lan Parties going that would be cool, maybe some cash prize competitions every once in awhile for individuals or teams of players.
Maybe have a wall of computers that are for checking email and Myspace and the web and not for gaming (that could save you some money by not having to buy all really high end systems).
I recently got a Dell 30" display and there was a small issue with it. Not a big deal but I need to talk to customer service on the issue. I spoke to probably about 15 people over a couple of hours and they were all Indians most of whom thought the display was a television. I have never had worse customer service in my life; none of them took accountability and they just kept passing me off. Finally I bribed my more patient co worker buddy to talk to them and pretend he was me. I was at the end of my rope. He got the deal done and I bought him lunch for helping me out:) I have a couple of Dell displays and they are really great but their customer service is the WORST!
I checked it out, it is horrible! I've never seen anything so nasty in all of my life on the web. I have two kids, hopefully myspace will be long forgotton by the time they are teens.
To name a few:
Wolf3D (PC)
Doom series (PC)
Quake 1&2 (PC)
HL and HL2 (PC)
Asheron's Call 2 (my first MMO) (PC)
City of Heroes (PC)
World of Warcraft (PC)
Counter Strike series (PC)
Tony Hawk series (PS2)
Tribes was lots of fun at the office back in the glorious dot com days...
I agree. If you offer free access it is good but you will also get all these moochers who buy a cup of coffee for a buck then stay there for six hours leeching your WiFi. On the other hand there will be people who may buy more drinks and if they stay long enough some food too so you will get some good paying customers and some flat out moochers too. There is a trade off.

I did not think I could hate Myspace more than I do already. I guess I was wrong.

Sell lots of variety of energy drinks

This redesign looks way better than the current. Can't wait for it to go live.
