Forum really slow

Not just you, I think it's due to solar flares......

It's very slow in the UK.

Could it be due to that low mains voltage you guys have? We are up in the heady heights of 249 VAC here

Years ago I used to work for a reseller that sold ICL servers which came with a modem for tele service as they called it.
I do remember in the old days when being in the internet meant your phone line was engaged so no calls.

Many years ago and I worked for ICL / Romania 1997 - 2002 .

Now this forum are ok with the speed.
