The internetweb

OK, I’ve been ‘on’ the web since around 1995. It is now an integral part of my life and my work, and I’ve come to rely on it, and barely give it a thought most days.

Now and again though I pause and remember how incredible it is. I’ve just downloaded IrfanView from a site in Alaska. It took all of 20 secs. From Alaska.

Isn’t it amazing what you take for granted?
