    That was the Examiner piece, and it was just a redo of our Press Release.

    The Herald is 2 pages apparently. Wish someone would scan it in.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent.

    I see the Broadband.gov.ie website was mentioned, I was told that they hope to have it working properly hopefully by Monday.

    Of course, there's the obligatory sidebar by a Mac user about how dangerous it is to hook a Windows PC up the Internet, and how those nasty hackers will own your arse in 20 minutes.

    It would have been far more useful to their readers if they hired a technology editor who actually knows something about the technology involved, and had him write an article explaining how the NAT routers provided by eircom and IOL provide far better protection from hackers than Norton Internet Security does.

    (This might also have helped to encourage UTV, and other broadband providers, such as IBB, to stop delivering potential zombies by connecting "raw" computers directly to the internet).
