As of this writing, I have learned that nearly the entire state of Minnesota was recently cut off from the Internet for 13 hours because it had only one primary connection to the global Net, and that link went down. If Minnesota, of all places, is so vulnerable, one can imagine how tenuous many international links must be. Hm, I remember cutting off the entire Pacific Rim once, from my basement in Michigan, after typing the wrong command. I had to call Jeff Burgan to reboot the IBM RT at Ames to bring it back. I guess things haven't changed all *that* much in 15 years.
