38minutes

Just musing whilst having a late lunch - I wonder how long it will be before someone digs this report out and thinks "Wow, what happened to memory sticks?" (capacity up to 16Gb?) and starts getting all nostalgic for five and a quarter inch floppy disks (capacity 360kb?) and "Whizzer and Chips"...

if have been staring at the logo for a while now in a conference in birmingham. charitably you could say it was a comment on how poor britain's broadband infrastrucuture is - the fastest way to get 8gb of anything from northampton to northallerton is to put it on a memory stick and post it using the royal mail.
