How about a Cyber Cafe where the computers are in place and you buy a portable hard drive to use when you come in ..that way all your info leaves when you do. Tables will have built in printers for use when needed.

Reward: cheap alternative to buying computers for those who can't afford them.

they already have portable hard drives called usbs...they're relatively cheap and you can store a whole operating system on some...

This sounds like a really great idea. Of course USB flash drives can be used as "portable hard drives", but this idea solves the very common problem of not having a computer readily available. Great Idea jetdude!
