Cybercafes combine the
information resources of a
whole planet and the beverage
resources of a coffee shop
Ryan Bornheimer
Senior Pulse Reporter
On Mother’s Day a few years ago,
Dorothy Ehli’s grandchildren took
her to Sip N-Surf Cybercafe
downtown to show her the Inter
net. Since that day, the retired
nurse has been a mainstay at the
establishment. Sometimes she
stops by to visit her favorite Web
site, Allmusic.com. Other times
it’s for the homemade lasagna.
It’s this hybrid of old-school
warmth and new-sehool technolo
gy that made cybercafes a common
sight around the world in the mid
’90s. Like any trend, many were
quick to jump on the bandwagon,
but few had the chops to stay in for
the long haul. Once the novelty
wore off, it looked as though cyber
cafes may end up as little more
than fodder for a Trivial Pursuit
1990s edition.
In recent years, however, these
specialized businesses seem to
have found their niche. And Eu
gene is no exception. As of now,
there are many such establish
ments in the city, including Sip N
Surf, The Buzz Net Cafe, and Corn
source Associates, all offering a
combination of computers and a
cup of joe.

I started this column with the
best of intentions. I was going to
tackle the riveting subject of resi
dence hall life. Picture practical ad
vice for the incoming freshman on
color schemes, organization and
how to deal with your new room
mates penchant for tie-dyed and
batiked tapestries.
I did all the groundwork. I
checked out the University Housing
Web site. I spent a fascinating after
noon of reading for free at Barnes &
Noble. I read about Martha Stewart’s
Good Things and 100 ways I could re
decorate my room for less than ,$100.
I found out about “(opening my) style
file” and making a “tempting tuffet”
— golden moments to treasure al
ways.
Unfortunately, I ran into a few
roadblocks on the path toward the

The management company is
still trying to decide if the resi
dence will be open during the
summer. Frichette is calling it an
“unknown entity” at this point.
“There’s a new product out
there,” said Frichette, who is also
the general contractor. “How many
women’s private dorms are there?
Well, there’s one.”
