All right, let's get right down to it ... What is the Multi-Media Cafe? First, you've got to get to 2002 Manor Road. Now then, picture, if you will, a huge variety of graphics, gaming, and multi-media stations. With over ten PC graphics and gaming stations and a high-end Macintosh graphics multi-media workstation, you can now build your computer and social skills at the same time.

Now for your social skills ... Let's start with great espresso and cappuccino, good snacks and smart drinks. And if that's not enough ...i n case you get really hungry, the East Side Cafe is right across the street. The 24-hour venue also offers an opportunity for that late night creative genius who doesn't want to keep the rest of the house awake.

So if you're the type who likes to try it before you buy it, go see what companies like CompuAdd and Digital Axis, as discovery incubator vendors, have to offer. And hey, what have you got to lose ... you might even find a social life ... not necessarily your own, but ...
