     Yep.  Few of the cafe's around here.  Tend to be more in the
     NW and NE of the nation.  

    Back in the '80s though EVERY computer shop had lists of bbses
    and the 3 newpspaers had weekly articles on them and such.
    Every ONCE in a blue moon the Tech writer will write up about
    a BBS or something but that's rare.
