Merry Christmas (to everyone that celebrates) and Happy New Year!
(And I'm looking forward to seeing "Maestro", part of the movie was filmed in my neighborhood.)
Cheers,
Tanya :-)

I sat nextto someone from an VR company that did project management there whospent the entire trip texting (with TWO phones) over the viasatservice ($15/hr) to dozens and dozens of people. Max time off thephone was no more than 15 seconds, long enough to open a cracker. Sheseemed to never have an internet issue (though with all themultitasking perhaps the latencies were hidden). I finally got a wordin edgewise on landing... I had great hope she knew what a packet was,but she didn´t. She grokked "latency", had not heard of bufferbloat.The new movie Maestro is really excellent, btw. I watched some of itfrom between the seats ahead of me, with my head otherwise down tryingto block out all the internet access around me.While I worry all the more about all we have done to humanity´sability to communicate physically and with strangers I wish y'all amerry christmas and a happy new year, with your families!--40 years of net history, a couple songs:Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos_______________________________________________Nnagain mailing list
