    A certain little four-letter word keeps springing to mind whenever I read this forum.

    Mary o Rurke, like us, notes that, without unmetered access, European countries will not be able to sustain e-commerce or effective educational use of the Internet

    We should shove this back in her face and tell her that 3 years have gone past and we are no more advanced then 1998....

    So do I. Many years ago (1979) I worked for an American Multinational and we were not permitted to say "Made In Ireland" on goods shipped to the UK because it was claimed by UK Officials that this could imply that they were made in N.Ireland so we were told the we had to say "Made In Eire" (which makes no sense as it involves two different languages) but if we did this most people throughout the World would not be aware of the existence of a place known as Eire and might not purchase our products. So we printed "Made In The Republic Of Ireland" on all our products
