The cost bounces around as the suggestions for use are refined.  Last I heard it would be $75 - $100 per month, but I'm unclear how many nights use that would allow.  However, they're determined to have my little business represented there, and I'm expecting a NITIX server to arrive this week and would like to install it there to provide the internet services for the learning center (and as a demo for sales).  That would be a big foot in the door.

Do you think "students" would pay $3 - $7 a visit, for a 3 hour session? I'm speculating here.

&gt; Anyone like to help create such a thing? 
&gt;  
&gt; I've got a shot at inexpensive office space not far from I-85 near
&gt; Buckhead.  The idea is a place where students of all ages could pay a
&gt; few bucks and have their way with a room full of PCs, software, books,
&gt; etc.  Install it, configure it, wipe it out and start over again.  Also
&gt; network some together, add web servers, FTP, etc.  Socialize and learn. 
&gt; Remember pizza night at the Linux General Store? 
&gt;  
&gt; Perhaps one night a week we'd have use of a 10' x 18' room with
&gt; broadband access.  Lots of PCs on rolling carts would make
&gt; setup/teardown easy. 
&gt;  
&gt; What else could there be?  
&gt;  
&gt; * a lending library of books, magazines, CDs 
&gt; * a pile of instruction sheets ( image this drive to one of those boxes,
&gt; then follow the instructions and see how it goes) 
&gt; * cheap snacks 
&gt; * used equipment on consignment 
&gt;  
&gt; So, who'd like to provide talent, advice, materials, hand-holding... 
&gt;  
&gt; Thanks!
