Unless you're socializing on line, in which case, why the cafe?

I'm not sure. Maybe I just have fond memories of college computer labs where people would gather and be social. For some reason, despite the very unpersonal environment the computer offered, we always managed to start conversations. Maybe the aspect of all-nighters and all the collective suffering helped make the labs a bit more friendly.

But, now that you mention it, the last lab I was in was more like a library where you had to remain quiet and looking over someone's shoulder was responded to with violent acts.
