Subject: [cc] grand opening ideas
>Hello Again,
>
>I have been replying to emails,and have never introduced myself and let you
>know about my cafe.
>
>My name is Karen, my family and I are opening our store in North Carolina,
>USA.
>
>Our store is 2250sf. We will have 20 networked computers, 6 arcade games
>and 1 pool table. We went with Windows 98SE on the workstations and will
>have linux on the server. I know we will have to download a million
patches
>for the games, but from all that I know and have read and heard about, it
>beats WindowsNT hands down.
>
>Our grand opening/ribbon cutting is September 29th. I am not sure what
type
>of door prizes to give out so if anyone has any good idea, please post them
>to the list so we can all take advantage. I am trying to stay away from all
>computer related items as some people may not have a computer and that is
>why they are at our store.
>
>We are not going to sell cooked food, just lots of snacks, and prepackaged
>sandwiches as our store is adjacent to a deli. I would like to sell some
>speciality coffees, but the machines are too expensive for us right now, so
>we will only offer coffee from a regular coffee pot.
>
>I would love to hear how some of you started, where and how you find your
>software. Right now we are planning on just buying a copy of each game we
>want for 8-10 computers and only offer it to that amount of customers at a
>time. First come, first served.
>
>Do any of you offer tournaments? We are planning tournaments and lock ins
>so if you are experienced send some advice.
>
>We are leaning toward the cybertime software program to monitor the
>computer, but are also working on an inside program we are developing. The
>software is a BIG expense for a startup, so we may have to pass on it for a
>few month! I am not sure it works with linux either.
>
>Well that's our store and story, would appreciate any tips and tricks you
>have learned through the years.
>
>Good Luck
>Karen
