Vancouver's first 24 hr internet cafe - 1996

In 1995, I was working for an entertainment company where I took care of all advertising media and also built a database to store customer information and bookings  of our products.

One day I said to my boss, "we should get an email address."  He said, "yes good idea, but better yet, I want an internet cafe...and you're going to take care of that."


​Gulp! 
       
​And so I took a year off my university studies and jumped right into it...
