Maybe this makes me a “half-empty” type person…

… but I think that the fact that it has taken me longer to transfer a few ISOs from my laptop (10Mbit NIC) to another desktop than it did to download them from Telstra initially is kind of sad. Unfortunately, I had no other option, as I need to get the ISOs for my new server, and the laptop is the only computer with the BigPond client installed on it…

Ah well, under an hour for 1.2GB of files isn’t too bad ;) *chuckles at ADSL people who are awed by non-Telstra DSLAMs that do 2Mbit/s*
