Café Society 

Computer bulletin boards aren't just for dweeby cyber- punks anymore--at least not in San Francisco. Entrepreneur Wayne Gregori has created SF Net, a decidedly sociable computer network that links up patrons of the city's dangerously hip cafés. From the Lower Haight to south of Market Street, high-tech trendies are interfacing over cappuccino. All you have to do is buy a ticket from the café, enter a number into an on-site computer and begin your techno-chat at $1 per 15 min- utes. The next Gregori test site: Seattle.
