Get a load of some surfin’ verve

In this day and age when the usual connotation of cafés has exceeded mere cups of latte and cappuccino, and when surfing need not mean going directly to the beach, more and more people are cooking up passwords and getting themselves logged on not just for a cup of coffee and a virtual surf.

Only the 21st century gave birth to the phenomenon known as cyber cafés or Internet cafés, if you will.

And right in the hub of the newly renovated Greenbelt Mall, the ultimate Internet café awaits. Be Connected Internet Café combines the delicious aromas of a genuine coffeehouse with the excitement and intensity of a computer gallery.

The place is equipped with 30 state-of-the-art thin screens and 20 19" CRT monitors; 256kbps ADSL connection to the net; 64MB video RAM and 3COM switches. All these to meet surfing, typing and printing needs. Users can also do their scanning requirements there.

For those who feel the day is not complete without blasting away some bots, slashing some demons, and conquering Mother Russia, they can blow off steam with any of the exciting games featured at Be Connected. It includes Half-life/Counterstrike, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Diablo 2.

Enjoy brewed coffee, cappuccino, espresso, lattés and creamy chocolate drinks while you challenging the mind with online gaming. Users can also browse at the computer and software shop. Visiting the Internet café is a great way to idle away a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and could be a perfect ending to a fabulous date.
