[Malvern] Congestion on internet.

[Richard Forster]

I would doubt that any current slowdown you see is due to Patch Tuesday 
as that was a week ago. Plus the download size of the recent patches is 
small compared to an hour or so of watching youtube videos, even though 
it was the biggest month of patches in Microsoft's history.

As an aside, I bumped into Barbie last week. He was well and should be a 
married man by now.

Cheers

Rick
