    I'm thinking most of those 5,000 were in work also. If I had been in work, I would have been refreshing like a mofo ;)

    There is *nothing* to do on Christmas day.
    Nowhere's open, most families stay at home.
    I watched a few DVDs, played Arcanum for a few hours and checked boards, mail and various tech sites over a seriously dodgey dial-up connection.
    Got 9600baud at one stage.
    Must get eircom out, line is extremely crackly.

    sweet lord. I thought my Christmas Day 31.2k was bad!

    Boards on Christmas day - I guess it proves the importance of this online community to its members.. :)

    I wasnt near a PC since last Monday. One of the reasons being if I brought my PC back to the country, I'd get a connection like SyxPak's, a severe step down from 512k broadband. By Christmas Eve the shakes started to stop....
    But if I was online, I would've been here too.

    No, what would be worse is being online at midnight on New Years Eve.....
