Decorating the Cafeteria

(1 / 14)


I have been given the job of sprucing up the looks of the cafeteria, and
I need your help.  The room is plenty large with lots of windows, but
it NEEDS SOMETHING!!  The potential of the room has not been tapped and
I have some ideas, but YOU probably have an opinion too.  Please let me
know how you would like to see your cafeteria made more inviting and
pleasing to the eye. 

While we're at it, I would be happy to take suggestions for the lunch
room in 735, also.  I mean THINK CRERATIVE ! !  How about raised floors,
plants, aquariums. . .

Since these are common rooms for everyone to use it is important that they
are comfy to you.  All creative suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Thanks for your help. . .JUDY

REDECORATING CAFE

(2 / 14)


IN RESPONSE TO THE EARLIER MAIL MESSAGE ABOUT IDEAS FOR REDECORATING THE
CAFETERIA, WE FEEL THAT THE CAFE IS ALREADY A PLEASANT AND COMFORTABLE
ROOM AND DOES NOT NEED IMPROVEMENT.

CAFETERIA

(3 / 14)


	I, TOO, THINK THE CAFETERIA IS FINE THE WAY IT IS. RAISED FLOORS,
PLANTS, CURTAINS, AND AQARIUMS SOUNDS OUTDATED AND CLUTTERED TO ME. I
PREFER THE MORE MODERN CLEAN AND OPEN LOOK. THE COLORS COULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER FROM THE START, BUT THEY ARE LIVEABLE.
	IF THERE IS MONEY TO BE SPENT, IT COULD BETTER BE SPENT ON SOMETHING
MORE USABLE LIKE A HOT TUB OR SOME MUCH NEEDED DESIGN EQUIPMENT FOR MY
DEPARTMENT.

Three cheers for leaving the cafeteria the way it is and buying
a hot tub instead!  Our cafeteria is fine now and the decoration
money could be much beter spent elsewhere.

RE:CAFETERIA UPGRADE

(5 / 14)


O.K. HERE IS MY TWO CENTS.....I TOO THINK THE CAFE ATARI IS FINE THE
WAY IT IS WITH THE CLEAN LOOK. AND AS THE PEOPLE WHO CAN REMEMBER
BACK IN 1272 (FIRST TIME) AND 1501, THE JACCUZI WAS A WONDERFULL
EXTRA TO HAVE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD AIDE MY NEED TO START 
WORKING OUT WOULD BE A NICE HOT SOAKING OF MY BONES.

MAYBE JUST A BIT MORE VARIETY IN FOOD...CAJUN OR CHINESE.   
FOR ALL ITS WORTH, THATS IT...........JTM

P.S. LETS GO THRASHER !!!!!

cafeteria. Let's get us a tennis court!!!

Cafeteria Upgrade

(7 / 14)


If you want to spend some money how about a Satellite Dish System?
A Top-of-the-Line system goes for about $2500 plus installation.
Installation runs from $250 for a simple installation on up to ???

The system can be used for education as well as entertainment. For
example, a few months ago the IEEE broadcast a symposium on Computer
Integrated Manufacturing and last month TI ran the Second Artificial
Intelligence Symposium. Both were on satellite; unscrambled. (The IEEE thing 
was interesting while the TI stuff was Borrrrrring.)

If, in addition to the satellite system, you buy a Videociphor II descrambler
and a subscription a HBO, I ought to be able to determine whether Atari can
second source the Videociphor II without having to pay the MACOM pirates their
outrageous fees. It could make a lot of money for the company.

	Jed

PS - I have some experience in aiming the dish, thereby saving the $250 that
installers charge when they do it.

I ALSO AGREE WITH THOSE WHO THINKS THE CAFE ATARI IS FINE 
THE WAY IT IS AND THE TENNIS COURT IS THE BEST IDEA SENSE 
ICE CREAM.

EXTRA MONEY

(9 / 14)


Well everyone over here thinks the cafeteria is fine the way it is, although
they could have a little more variety.   We recommend that the extra money
be spent on a new req room with a ping pong table(s) or a basketball court.
There is one recommendation for a stress/tension release program (what ever
that is, ask G.Rice). regards..customer/field service

Cafeteria Upgrade

(10 / 14)


A golf course!  Or a frozen yogurt machine?  Maybe we could have
hot chocolate at the coffee stations again, or how about hot and
cold running Perrier!

Cafeteria upgrade!

(11 / 14)


Three cheers for Hot Chocolate and more variety of teas at the coffee
stations. Thats what I'd like to see!!!!!!!!!!!

Cafeteria Upgrade

(12 / 14)


How about Hot and Cold running Thunderbird?
(Upgrade or Downgrade?)

UP AND UP

(13 / 14)


WE ARE GETTING OFF THE SUBJECT OF CAFETERIA REMOLDELING, BUT.....

	I KINDA MISS THE HOT CHOCOLATE AT THE COFFEE STATIONS, BUT WOULDN'T
IT BE EVEN BETTER TO HAVE A FREEZERETTE AT EACH STATION FILLED WITH
DOVEBARS?!!!?

tennis court

(14 / 14)


 If anyone is seriously considering improvements such as a tennis court, I'm
all in favor of it.  If this is too expensive, it would be great just to have
a backboard to practice against.
