    Talking Where can I get this connection?!

    This is just what we need....I want one!!

    "Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center used fiber-optic cables to transfer 6.7 gigabytes of data -- the equivalent of two DVD movies -- across 6,800 miles in less than a minute."

    Bet they don't cost much either.

    SM
    ...more will be revealed.

    Only problem is where do you stack 6,800 miles of fibre-optic cable when all you want is a fast link between two PC's?
    Anyone can make a mistake - to make a really good job of it use a computer.
