By the way, there are reports from two days ago that 400,000 people lost their Internet access for 13 hours. Sounds like an outage approaching "collapse."
Let's blow this into proportion, shall we? Current, somewhat overhyped, estimates say there are 60M Internet users worldwide. 400k is some 0.67% of that. Cut the hype in half if you want, and make that 1.3% instead. I say, some collapse. -- ------ ___ --- Per G.
