Well, we like Station 7 cos we're on friendly/first name basis with the owner. ;D
We just like it there, it's nice, regular, good pricing, reliable enough.
i-one (upstairs I think) is a tad cold in my opinnion, they lack the personal touch.
And I mean that in an entirley non creepy/peverted way.

The only problem in Station 7 is their computers are not top of the notch.... Other then that they are cool

i think other than knowing what net cafes we all go to, we should note down what comps are best for station 7. Dont want to go there and be stuck with a rubbish comp like mines at home

cpus 8 - 24 = best at S7 with most up to date graphic cards...
I'll let Wilson (one of the Owners) know that We need upgrades... and New mouses...
as well as to ban smoking on all fronts... though whether or not he'll listen is at another level!

If you really must smoke, take the elevators downstairs and smoke outside, just like everywhere else! Hong Kong is one of the few countries to still have such lax laws regarding smoking indoors at public/private entertainment venues!!

Nah. My parents would totally flip. How much did you spend on computer upgrades? From what i'v read from your posts, your computer is godly. Dont bother naming all the pro hardware. I dont know anything.

Although there is a ban on smoking in public venues, arcades, certain types of shops, mahjong and snooker halls may buy a special provision to bypass the ban, otherwise they would have no customers! Wilson must have one, half his die hard customers, including the goldfarmers, and even his staff, are smokers. Some people were complaining about it in HK Magazine, it wasn't mentioned in the PR bonanza when the law started to come into the final stages.

I participated in the WCG a long long time ago, and came out victorious, thus sponsorships came flooding in, though not anymore, I still retain connections with my old sponsors, and receive the occasional sponsored item of my choice!
Actually, Wilson DOESN'T have a permit, its too expensive, that and the fact that no-one has reported S7 to do right ppl yet.
If other Cyber Cafe's including I-One upstairs on the 10th and 11th floor has banned smoking successfully whilst retaining most of their loyal customers, I'm sure Wilson can do it too. The only problem is that Wilson's Girlfriend, Joanna, also smokes, and has been pressuring Wilson not to ban smoking. I'm sure however, some anonymous complaints to the Health and "?" department, about Station7's patron's conducts, as well as the inability to enforce the smoking ban, will straiten things out over yonder. Dont let Wilson know that I suggested that.
As it is, I'm fed up with all those bastards blowing smoke rings into my face whilst I game there, after repeated requests for them to stop, or to blow it in another direction. Their replies as usual is: "Go find another seat then" (Yes I'm talking about you Dingo, amongst others). Other problems with smokers is their inability to use the ashtray, even when it's right infront of them, instead, they like to dump their waste all over the floor between the chairs, or burn little holes into the keyboards/mousepads/mice and other peripheral equipment, including seats. Not to mention their ever present tobacco stench!
Anyways, that just what I think, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who thinks this way.
Hey if you want to smoke, then be my guest, take the elevator down to the ground floor, and take a smoke out on the street.
My 2 cents...

Yeh, for the most part, in alot of places they just break the law as its only a new law and its a low priority; no one complains and the police have better things to do anyway and they can't even do anything anyway unless they catch someone in the act.
It's not like they could flash-raid a venue to catch all the smokers before they have time to put them out (although that would be an awesome tv ad campeign, SWAT raiding venues and taking out smokers).

WCG = ??
Yes. Smoking = A pain. However, if you talk to them VERY VERY nicely, they have a minimal chance of stopping. But most of the time as Malerven says, " Go find another seat "

But most of the time as Malerven says, " Go find another seat " WCG = World Cyber Games the brand was purchased by Samsung back in 2000, with Sony buying in in 2005. I started b4 Samsung purchased the brand, when it was still an underground event, thus lower prize monies and less corporate sponsorships... It's not like they could flash-raid a venue to catch all the smokers before they have time to put them out (although that would be an awesome tv ad campeign, SWAT raiding venues and taking out smokers). Lol, SDU runs in holding little squirt guns, aimed at cigarette butts. a squirt here and there puts the damned ciggies out! lol just imagine the possiblities!!
