internet cafes - thanks

[Brandon Sandrowicz]

Most places would probably opt for the 'wireless networking built-in'  
printer because of the perception that setup would be easier.  It's  
not that wireless networking is harder, but I haven't heard of many  
internet cafes supporting networked printing at all.  (Granted I  
haven't been to too many internet cafes myself)  What I have seen is  
wireless access for your laptop, accompanied by a kiosk that is  
hooked up to a printer.  So that the kiosk can be used to print as  
well as surf the web, etc.
