You're absolutely right!

:) I'm working for the local public library, a part of the  
municipality. And as I'm living in Germany, I'm happy that I do have a  
working computer and not only a typewriter and a fax machine.
Our library building still has some IBM Type-1 cabling (from Token  
Ring-days) that we're using for Ethernet via some adapters...
I don't think that IPv6 days will come soon here...

MvdV> I mentioned feste-ip.net didn't I?

I didn't know that page, thanks for that info :)
But I'm happy that my setup is working at the moment as I've set it up  
:)

MvdV> The T-shirt...  I already showed you mine didn't I? How about showing

Hehe, nice try :) I guess it's looking basically the same :)

Regards,
Anna
