It's fun, isn't it? I went from being on 56K for 6 years, to being on 2Mbps
for about a month, to being on - theoretically - 100Mbps. (The most I've
ever managed to pull from one server would be about 56Mbps, I think, which
in itself was quite something). It's nice being able to download ISOs in
under 2 minutes. ;-)
