The  internet  is growing every day even though there is alot of crap on
the net it will soon be found in every home in the world (well those who
can  afford  it anyway).  Meridian has made a tv programme that explores
the  word of cyberspace and have called it cyber.(dot) cafe,so lets have
a look.

The  show  could  pass as a public access tv show (where the public make
their own shows) as it`s just soooo cheap,the main presenter looks as if
he  has  had too much coffe and the guests although some are interesting
aren`t on very long and therefore you cant get the real potential out of
the  show.  Talking of things not on for long enough are the various web
and  email sites for these people so you must have a pen and paper handy
but  even  then  they are just so long that it is impossible to write it
all  down  in the few seconds it`s displayed.  They have a tasty looking
woman  that looks like carol vordermans sister (if she has one) and that
just  involves  looking for various bizzare things.  The worst though is
dan  and jeremys best and worst of the web `96 in which they look at the
best  and  the  wost (obv!) these two try to be funnt but fail just like
vic reeves,bob mortimore,and simon and trevor.

They  dont explain the cost of running the net at any time and generally
the  show is a big let down seeming as the net has got alot of press and
media coverage and will continue to do so in the years to come.

I  will  be  going on-line soon so you can email me and I will email the
makers  of this show and hopefully will include this artcile, so see you
then cyber chaps!

[If  the  program  is  crap then don't bother reviewing it as the reader
will  just  click  onto  the  next  article anyway.  A better program to
review would be the Computer Channel on ASTRA or maybe BIG BYTE on RADIO
5 Sunday lunch times.  If you do get email, don't opt for a HOTMAIL one.
The bandwidth is crap, all the names are used up and you just can't send
attachments!  Steal a university one instead!  8) Kei]
