Interesting: although I have been in IT since 1983, I had not realised just how old the technology that we use today really is. On a side note, I heard yesterday that, in the '80's, a university in Europe transmitted an 863GB file over a 16800km link in just over 1000 seconds! Makes my 24kbs ADSL2+ system look positively snail-like...
