No wonder you got fit! ;) I read with interest your 'since then' paragraph, because you omit 3G phone networks and the advent of Wi-Fi. They seem to have changed our online life more significantly than faster broadband speeds. Even on the latter point, this "small business manifesto" from Doug Richard declares fast broadband to be essential infrastructure: http://www.realbusiness.co.uk/news/startups/5750498/doug-richard-get-rid-of-business-link.thtml I do enjoy your stories of early attempts to get online and send faxes. In those days, you'd really marvel at each small step in the progress march. We're less easily amazed now we can take for granted phones that double as computers and cameras :) You had a local client on your bike? No wonder you got fit!
