this is the system at the 'EasyEverything' internet cafes we have in the
UK, a most amusing moment was when myself and my sysadmin at my last job
went to the EasyEverything downloaded 4 cds worth of server logfiles and
had them copied onto disk, the reason? Our pitiful ISDN connection in the
office would have taken days and the fast connection at the EasyEverything
meant it took a nice morning while we sat and drank coffee.
The look on the guy's face when we went to the counter to have all these
files copied was a picture *grin*
