Fantastic post Hal, the net has made things so much easier.
10 years ago I would never imagine that I would be talking to a friend in California in real time, by text, video, audio or even by IP phone - for free.
It's great, I've made some very good friends in the US, Spain and other countries even though I've never met them in "real life" - only by communicating over the net.
Indeed, I've never personally met Mick, Frank, Paul M, Chris or many others on this forum although I've met Neil and Russ in person. *
Seeing as we can run the biggest cable site in the world with just that, well it must prove something...

The Internet really is the Internet**...

* I have spoken to most of them on the phone or by Teamspeak though.

** The Internet is short for "International Network".
