Munich Internet Cafes with decent facilities

Does anyone out there know a place where you can use Word and then save it to a disk. All the places I have tried seem to have either Wordpad (urrghh) or obscure Wordprocessing packages that I have never heard of

thanks

There is an internet cafe on Thalkirchenerstrasse just about 50m away from Sendlinger Tor where you can bring your own laptop and plug it onto the net. So if you have your own, you can check that place out. I don't know exactly what it's called though...

The reason why internet cafes dont have word is typically because its a security hole, like most microsoft products. In this case documents can contain macros that can behave like viruses.

Some ideas: If you just want to print then use your copy of word to print it to a file and take this to the internet cafe to print. The default for this is postscript, but pdf is more convienient, download something like pdf995 to print docs to pdf.

If you wanna edit then save as rtf which wordpad can read. (You can lose formatting sometimes though).

Most obscure word processors can at least import and export word files, (usually better than other versions of word too), so its worth giving them a go, chances are they will be better than word anyway.

Did you try the Huge Inet cafe across from Hbf.?

does anyone know about an internet café that offers the following ?

1. ftp client
2. ssh client (putty or something)
3. usb connector

easier. put putty and ftp.exe on your usb stick and just find a cafe with pc's that have usb ports. most allow this now as it's the most popular way of transporting files.

I once tried bringing my USB stick to the easyIntenet cafe by Hbf, but it would not show up as a drive (given they have the USB ports I don't know why they wouldn't). However, you still may want to try that spot (I've also never bothered asking any of the folks there for tech support)

easyInternet USB ports don't work now I going to try and find a friendly orange face.

well the nice people said they would upload it for me, the only problem is that there connection is shite and it would take over 2 days to upload 5Mb or so.

off to another cafe i guess.

I know pathetically little about computers/technology - so I can't answer your question! - just wanted to say that I think the huge internet cafes are horrible. Especially the one near Hauptbahnhof. If you have a laptop, get yourself a good coffee at one of the small wireless (San Fransisco for example) coffee shops - not where some spotty little jerk is reading your emails over your shoulder.

Hope this helps.

Another great place to bring your laptop is Cafe Puck, it also has some of the best breakies in Munich!

Well it seems like i need to do some work again this week. So I pose the same question.

Does anyone know where I can do this ?

1. ftp client or a place that will allow me to download it and run it from there
2. ssh client (putty or something) or a place that will allow me to download it and run it
3. usb connector port

The previous place I used upto has started to block ftp'ing ports

anyone ?

False, I bring my tourists into the Easy Internet Cafe every day...I asked the manager if tourists could use the USB ports for uploading their pics to e-mail friends, etc...he said, yeah sure...you have to go to their customer service to have them unlock the USB port, though.

That's what he said a few weeks ago when we started using the cafe as our office or so.

I can completely understand internet cafes blocking everything you mentioned, though *cough*

Cheers for the tip NOFXmike. I know you can telnet/ssh/ftp out of the easy internet cafe, so I might just put everything on the stick and try this method.
