| 636572 | 2008-02-06 19:46:00 | Looking at hat map (great map) I note there are more cables going to Alaska ! than NZ ! They'd better build a couple more for us or we could out of action for weeks ! Have you ever tried to re-solder a fibre-optic cable ? Regards Digby |

| 636573 | 2008-02-06 19:58:00 | Don't use ordinary solder on fibre optic cables! People mistakenly try to do this using apple's iSolder, thinking that was specified. What is needed is eye-solder (for repairing tears). |

| 636579 | 2008-02-07 03:32:00 | And rather unoriginal at that too...I think it was sabotage. Visit my web site so I can sell you my stuff and make me feel better about it. | wratterus (105) | ||
