[OT] Any Evidence of internet cafes (pre-1998)?

[Dana S. Tellier]

Hello, everyone—               Sorry to interrupt my lurking, but I’ve been asked if I or anyone I know can provide anecdotal evidence of an Internet café ANYWHERE in the US, in prior to 1998?  If you can, also identify an example (year, city, & name if possible).  If you can do all this, I’d also ask if you can confirm how they got paid for giving you access (e.g., paid cash up front for a set amount of time, or paid via credit card in a slot on the side of the machine).             The reason for this is rather important, and I would ask that if any of the many talented folks on this list can provide any information regarding this, to please email it to me personally.     My thanks!    - Dana Tellier
