I've got a new customer, who's soon opening an office supply store. In conjunction with it, is a smaller section of the business that will have computers and wi-fi services.
They don't sell computers, but have them there, available for people to use, to do research, homework, geneology, etc.; and they have wi-fi.
The store is semi-divided inside, and has separate entrances. I'd like to identify this area on the front window, with as few and SIMPLE wording as possible. Any suggestions?
I'd like to make it clear that this is a place for them to come, to do computer work; not buy things.

I'm not really to familiar with the "internet cafe' concept. Is this something that a customer normally pays for (pays for time on a computer), or is this something a business provides for free?
I've got the impression that whatever they're going to be doing, they will charge for it.

Dale in Florida. Internet Cafes are online gambling joints. They have found some sort of loophole in the law. If I understand it correctly, You by tokens of some sort or chances, play an online sweepstakes then convert your points for cash when you are done. Because it is a "sweepstakes" they circumvent our highly regulated gaming laws. These places are on the shady side 'round these parts. You see about what you would expect. Down trodden souls who can't afford this sort of fun. It is sad really.

That is truly sad, Bob. That also is not what's going to be going on here.
I'm just trying to keep the wording on the windows as concise and simple (like many around here), so customers will know exactly what they do, and come in.
For whatever reason, their head office came up with about the dumbest name, for a business, ever. Do you know what "ORBICULAR" means? Have you ever even heard the word before?
Neither will their customers; so I've got to explain it (simply), on the windows, before they drive on by.

I don't get the idea from them, that whatever they're going to be doing is going to be free, Ricardo.
The way they define "orbicular" is : surrounding or encircling or encompassing. Their meaning is that they will have pretty much anything you need in the office supply realm.
But there are so many more plainer, more understandable definitions of what they're trying to do.
Go figure....it takes all kinds..........
Hey....maybe I could do a large version of the definition in vinyl, and stick it on the front window. That way, customers would know what they're going into the store for. How's that?

So they use the word "orbicular" and then want a simple, easy to understand way of letting the public know they have computing services for use inside?
