- Congratulations for what was certainly a major event in computer
- communication. I followed it here in Germany and couldn't get myself
- away from the computer until after 6 o'clock in the morning ...
- Simultaneously I listened to the British Forces Broadcasting
- Service, the only radio station to at least provide irregular
- updates within their otherwise pretty dumb program (I was unable
- to receive the BBC World Service on AM with my radio). Needless
- to say, the information on IRC was much quicker and better.
-
- It was a night I'll remember for quite some time.
