Interesting that West Yorks Police have only just upgraded to 10Mbits / Sec
for their force network across 72 police locations / networks including
video conferencing etc etc.......... (computing magazine, last week or so)
So still can't see why anyone on here would need to have a 24Mb line :-)
I think that quote was wrongly attributed...... Bill Gates wrote 'EVERYONE
will need more than 640kb after we release the next version'
