# I know
There is no one else here yet either but once I'm in the lab where I work, I can't come out again so easily. Takes about 10 minutes to leave.

Its a right pain if you need a slash

# Sounds
like you work within the government somewhere as well. We just got upgraded to nice P3 550mhz jobbies.

Someday DEFRA will catch up with reality and we might get some decent equipment

# our proxy and firewall
are so difficult to get through.

It's part of the x government secure intranet which is encrypted which means although we should have really REALLY fast internet it feels like its on a 56k modem

# we have a 12GBbps leasline
faster than a speeding lightening bolt.

but the proxy slows everything down as it filters it through the 286 processor and up the crappy ethernet.....
and the security on the system still sucks.....(ask Evil Lu!)
