OK, so you decided to make your own business. You know about Internet and PCs, so you mounted a small cybercafé with a couple of computers. After you have installed the appropriate 'base' software (OS and basic apps) you realize that you need something to control them while people come to visit your premise. So it's time to get some cybercafé management tool, don't you think?

So you google a while and find this freeware program. After a couple of minutes of playing with the program, you will notice that it has no outstanding features. However, it's quite suitable for small environments and low-end computers.

On the visuals' account, your eyes will not be pleased at all: the user interface is very old-styled, with almost no graphics nor visual aids. Moreover, the default background is somewhat creepy (as well as ugly), so if you are seeking a good-looking, stylish application to decorate your PCs, forget this one and look somewhere else.

All in all, you will not feel attracted by this program at first sight, but it's good to point out that this program is absolutely free, although the server-side software is not.

Review summary

Pros

  • Freeware
  • A simple solution to lock PCs and calculate charges

Cons

  • The GUI and the default background are just UGLY
  • It's just a client program: you will need the server program to control the terminals
