RE: [cc] from East Texas

Don’t know that I particularly care for the games aspect.  At this time we smoke and BBQ various meats and serve a few side dishes.  Sodas and such are also available as well.  We’re considering a variable rate based on time of day 24/7 with a discount for those desiring a monthly membership fee.     Sorry, Lee, the HTML didn’t come across.   JSky   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lee Hughes Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 3:52 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [cc] from East Texas   we're running flat rate access, and making snacks, drinks etc proportional higher too... for this to work you do have to have high density of machines.... (pack them in!)   in fact the next project I will do I will have a sushi style conveyor belt, with yummy food a snake slowly crawling past each surfer, hopefully, they won't be able to resist when the snacks go by..   you just take you plates to the conter when you finished, internet access is free by the way. ;-). (yes, I am crazy...)   I hear internet access ..well actually lan gaming is getting popular, my mate paul sent me this report (I have spies (friends) around the world ;-) gheheheh).   Cut Here (from paul) --------------- Nuff of that, thought i'd give you a few insights on cafes over here, I know you're getting a venture up and running soon. Internet cafes are massive in Malaysia & Singapore but its not for people surfing the web or checking the e-mail. They are all playing netgames. They are all set up to play either Lan games with each other in the cafe or playing netgames over the web. I even saw an entire cafe of 40 machines playing the same game. Serious money to be made me thinks as you can't get the same buzz as playing at home. They are so popular they are thinking of banning them in Malaysia (Muslim Country) as school kids are skipping school to go to the cafes. Skipping school to play computer games, they'll never get anywhere!! Ha Ha!! Well must dash now as i've got to go and meet Charlotte from her interview. Hope the info is useful and keep in touch. Cut Here -------------   Hopefully a group I'm talking to at the moment will give me some cash for my next project.... I'm getting fresh Idea's all the time, must be  all the alcohol I've been drinking ;-)   Cheers, Lee   (p.s. this html may or may not work....please tell me if it don't :-) )   <form method=GET action="http://www.egroups.com/subscribe/thegallerycafe"> <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 border=0 bgcolor=#FFFFCC>   <tr>     <td colspan=2 align=center>       <b>Subscribe to thegallerycafe</b>     </td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>       <input type=text name="user" value="enter email address" size=20>     </td>     <td>       <input type=image border=0 alt="Click here to join thegallerycafe"        name="Click here to join thegallerycafe" src="http://www.egroups.com/img/ui/join.gif">     </td>   </tr>   <tr align="center">     <td colspan="2">       Powered by       <a href="http://www.egroups.com/">www.egroups.com</a>      </td>   </tr> </table> </form>   -----Original Message----- From: Sky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 November 2000 08:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [cc] from East Texas Hi there list-folk, I'm opening a small cyber cafe in East Texas, am new to the list and, after lurking a bit, finally decided to come out of the shadows and see what ideas ya'll might have regarding various fee structures.  Hourly, time of day, discounts with membership, etc….what seems to work best and what doesn't?  Any help you can offer is most appreciated. Thanks, Sky ICQ  20723905
