After searching and searching and searching, I finally found one internet cafe in Paris, and it doesn't seem to me that it had laptop stations... just about 100 PCs you could get on the internet with. Haven't been to Rome yet, so I don't know if it's different there... but yeah, Paris didn't seem too well connected.. Amsterdam on the other hand, had quite a few cafes, and my hostel even had wireless internet.
I recently drove across Canada, and had a very hard time finding internet cafe's that provided wired _or_ wireless access for laptops. However, I had a fairly decent time finding open wireless access points. Of course you have to consider that (a) these people don't know what their doing, or (b) are very kind, so I tried to be as light on bandwidth as possible.
I had luck in cities like Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, etc. I'm not extremely familiar with wifi adoption in europe (assuming it to be about the same or better than here), and they might even use the same radio frequency, so in the case that you _need_ an internet connection, theres always that option.

thin to cultivate.
