Cyber cafes, from the ones I've visited (mostly in Europe), are small offices like the ones in strip malls that are outfitted with anywhere from a couple to 30 P.C.'s that you can pay by the hour for use. Some are extremely cheap while others charge what seems to be by the keystroke. The best one I used was at a place in Versaille which was a combination pub and cyber cafe. Real nice owners... The worst wasn't really a cyber-cafe per-se. It was a PC in a hotel that accepted credit cards. Needless to say, my time spent on it was as brief as possible.
