At what point does bandwidth cease to become an issue? Our training centre currently has a 4 Mbit connection ... and our service provider is upping that to a 10 Mbit connection in the near future. Fabulous - thank you - especially as the price actually drops. And on past form, we'll truly get this connectivity / most of our uses will be constrained at the far end not near.

5 p.m. yesterday, course of 4 trainees plus two staff working. Everyone checks email / catches up with work as the Perl training finishes for the day. Near Instant reaction on all the machines - displays coming up faster than they can be read; perhaps this is the turning point at which bandwidth is ceasing to be an issue. Or perhaps we'll start video streaming now ;-)
