How about the "optical fiber is infinitely extensible, its the switches you put at either end that are the critical thing" Maybe he turned up to the wrong show by mistake - perhaps he is the fisher price gadget guy from the childrens show.... -- That's just about the silliest thing I have seen! "The internet has been up for 5000 days, about 13 years, and hasn't broken down once." According to that the internet was 'started' in 1996! (See RFC 1 by Steve Crocker April 1969) I wonder what the hell I was on in 1987! Surely they wouldn't want to know about the introduction section of RFC 1254: A large number of widely dispersed Internet sites experienced simultaneous slowdown or cessation of networking services for prolonged periods... "youtube transmits more data than the internet." Wow, I didn't know youtube was out of band... ;-) I think the pink aloha shirt was affecting the brain of "sunrise gadget guy". That thing is worse that the old Magnum PI shirts! http://www.mokuman.com/images/magnumpi-shirt_header534.jpg scott ------------------- -------------------- -------------------- _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
