In 1996, in Entebbe, it took me a week to download and copy mIRC. Connection was a 14.4Kbps dial-up service during the week it rained all day, everyday. Actual connection hovered between 4.8Kbps - 9.6Kbps. On the Saturday where the rain abated for some 8hrs, mIRC finally came through. By then, my 1.44MB floppy disk had run out of ideas, probably from all the walking it endured between my house and the office of the hotel manager 30 minutes up the road I hounded, given they had the good sense to "buy the Internet" in those days. I abandoned (what felt like) the project. A year later, the gubbermint contracted the Chinese to fibre up all of Uganda Telecom's CO's around the country, and we could then surf in the rain :-).
