When I was in New York, there was a bar (and therefore open til a 

civilised 4 in the morning), that had 4 terminals (ok, they were 

WebTV, but it let you check hotmail accounts and generally do as much 

on the Internet as you can with $3 martinis in your hand).


Completely free usage: they were often busy, but if they were all in 

use, you just bought another drink and waited :)


I'm surprised more places in the UK haven't taken the bar/cafe (with 

internet access) route rather than internet access (with bar/cafe).


When the most original idea for bars atm is serving beer in cans (oh, 

the irony), surely an investment in a few cheap PCs would be a killer.

(oh, and never ever try to email when drunk, they can be produced as 

embarrassing evidence later :) )
