Edinburgh embraced the internet in a big way during the dot com boom of the late '90s and early '00s, with numerous internet cafés opening up.
In those days before web access became commonplace in capital households, locals would fork out a couple of quid for an hour of surfing and checking of emails at places such as Cyberia, Web13, Electric Frog and a host of other small independent internet cafés covering almost every corner of the city.
But if there was one internet café to rule them all then it was most definitely the massive easy Everything café on Rose Street in the city centre. With more than 400 terminals over multiple floors, the Hanover Buildings outlet was the largest internet café in Edinburgh and by some margin.
