Tim, Alas I'm not attending UKNOF next week (not in UK presently). I'll share this good write up: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/11/david-bowie-bowienet-isp-internet and also this one with a brilliant picture: http://mashable.com/2016/01/11/david-bowie-bowienet/ (is that an Apple product he's using? Yup! However it's very much pre BowieNet).
David Schairer was the CTO at Concentric at that time. He just posted a picture of the CD which he still has: https://www.facebook.com/schairer/posts/10206621043422517 On a personal note. Did anyone else on this list also attend Ravenswood School for Boys, Bromley Kent? That was my secondary school. When I went there it was called Bromley Technical High School. That's the same school that David Jones (David Bowie) attended. We lost an amazing and talented person last weekend.
