I used cyber cafe's last time I was in Australia in order to fetch email from my servers. I took a boot floppy with me back then and if they didn't have a fdd in the machine (most did) or if I could not boot to my own OS I asked the management for access to a machine which could and if they refused I left.
Now the thing is that since these are my own servers they log everything. I frequently checked the logs and it was truely amasing how the "hack attack" rate climbed. Like it went up by at LEAST a factor of 5x. I would NEVER access my servers using any computer I do not hve full control of because the issue is there are keyboard loggers all over the place. Cyber Cafe's IMHO are simply not competent. With USB sticks now available my rule would be to insert the USB and reboot. Of course one can pick up a little netbook for under $200 and that might be better than using a cyber cafe.
