...Broadband finally set up in my new house!
Been sneakily posting on here at work and it was getting annoying!
Right, back to business...!

Yep, i remember a few years back when i was dead chuffed when we got a 56k dial up connection for our top of the range 800mhz PC
.
That would always connect at about 47000bps, only giving a top speed of about 5.8 k/s [47/8]. Songs would take 30mins to download, and i still remember our first Napster download, it was seven days by Craig David. August 2000, a whole 6 years ago almost. Ahhh nostalgia...

LOL - I just couldn't live without BB now... (BroadBand, not Big Brother - can't stand that!)
Wireless networking kit also turned up this morning, so will be playing about with that over the easter weekend...!
