From the Bergen County Record (New Jersey).... -ac
Internet cafe Times Square's newest draw
It's billed as the world's largest cybercafe. With 800 computer screens
stacked side-by-side, row-after-row across two floors, the new
"easyEverything" Internet facility in Times Square sure is "cyber." It's
the "cafe" part that's open to debate. The 18,300-square-foot store (the
size of some real libraries), next to the new Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum
and across 42nd Street from B.B. King's blues club, looks more like a Home
Depot -- especially with its orange-and-white motif -- stocked with blond
office furniture that looks like it came from IKEA. As Stelios Haji-Ioannou
sees things, he's helping to close the digital divide. "There will always
be people who can't afford Internet access," says the 33-year-old Greek-born
founder of easyGroup, which runs not only the easyEverything cybercafes, but
easyJet, a low-cost European airline, and easyRentaCar. "Bill Clinton is
agonizing over the digital divide -- how to give Internet access to
everybody," Haji-Ioannou said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this
week. "Surely, the solution cannot be to give a free PC in every home. . . .
So this might be one of the answers."

Good Day from Washington!
As many of you know I compile a site with Web accessible Congressional
Research Service reports.
Today, I added links to a few newly discovered CRS reports/memos that may be
of interest. Many are linked via the House Majority Leader site. Most are
pdf files.
