**INTRODUCTION

NetCafe is, at the moment, a concept designed to fuse caffeine consumption 
and internet access in a commercial/social setting, to be located in
Dallas, Texas. 

The idea was conceived once we realized that large amounts of highly
caffeinated beverages were being consumed while on the net. Another reason
is of course because of the general public's growing interest in the 
Infobahn.  These two things considered, the marriage seems ideal.

Net of the Black Bean (NET2B) explained:  In the near future internet 
access will be widely available through many public places, many of which
will be entertainment related establishments. Net of the Black Bean will 
be one national network that interconnects them, allowing internetwork
competitions, chatting, and other interactive services.  We will be able 
to offer many of these services, in-house, from the start.  


Why the survey?

We have listed below a number of questions that we feel will give us an 
idea of the types of services you, the public, would like to see in an
establishment of this nature.  Your opinions will also aid our efforts in
soliciting outside funding, enabling us to bring this type of business to
market. Every response received will be included in Appendix C of the
NetCafe Business Plan. Your name and internet address will be held in
strict confidence.


**INSTRUCTIONS

Some of the questions below are simple yes and no questions.  The method 
we would like you to use when answering these questions is to remove the
underline character ---> _ from between the parantheses and replace it 
with an ---> X

When answering the questions that require a typed response, simply remove 
the underline characters and replace them with your response. These
questions may be answered using as much space as necessary. :)

Other questions will request a monetary response ---> $_____.  Here, 
simply replace the underline characters with a dollar figure.

We realize that this is a mundane task, but it will enable us to keep the
responses consistent when including them in the business plan.  Responses 
may be submitted via EMAIL: tweak@metronet.com  or by fax: 214.867.0871
