So, long time since I last posted. And, at last, I am actually connected to the FTTH - fibre to the home - interwebs!
Instead of the sub 1 meg rubbish I had, I now get 59 meg. I could get 1 gig if I was prepared to pay for it, but the 50 meg speed is still fine - after all there are only two of us here now. At last I can watch films and other stuff online without buffering issues constantly. I can download system updates in seconds which used to be an overnight event!
We are still getting used to the modern ways of integrating the technology back into our lives. It is strange to think that we were at the forefront of things back in the day - we had PC's here when they were still very unusual, had 14.4k dial up (using XStream for free connectivity if we could get on!) and building computers back in the days when the cd-rom was only on the top end machines and had a separate driver card. All good fun.
