In '''the [[GTA IV Era]]''', the TW@ Internet Cafés can be used to browse the in-game [[Websites in GTA IV|websites]]. They are accessible from the start of the game. The internet is introduced to the player in the mission [[Logging On]] where the player has to set up an [[Eyefind.info|Eyefind]] e-mail account. It costs $1 to use the computer. The stores can be robbed by simply opening the cash register and taking from $10 to $170, but doing so will usually result in a one star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]].[[File:Tw@_Internet_Cafe_(2008).png|thumb|TW@ logo as of 2008]]
