  • Stories: The Internet,

    I worked for a research organisation that, in the late 80s or perhaps early 90s, hooked up to the Internet through IBM ATs. On the first occasion I used the Internet connection to access information held in the US I thought it would take some minutes to retrieve, but amazingly it arrived in only seconds! The info must have been stored at the organisation's subsidiary in Wellington, I told myself, because it couldn't possibly have come all the way from America in that time. It was some weeks before a colleague could convince me otherwise.

  • Hard News: Misconnection,

    Go to Geekzone forums for Vodafone/ihug http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=40 and make your complaint. A Vodafone staffer lurks there and will be as helpful as their error-ridden system will allow. Contacting Vodafone direct is a waste of time short of writing a letter to the GM. Vodafone has become the new Telecom, and under its misdirection Ihug is becoming the new Xtra.
