75-Year-Old Woman Has Fastest Net Access
« on: July 13, 2007, 03:15:01 PM »
A 75-year-old woman in Sweden who has never owned a computer before now has the WORLD'S FASTEST HOME INTERNET CONNECTION -- a whopping 40 Gigabits per second. (That's fast enough to download a hi-def movie in two seconds.) Her son is Cisco executive Peter Löthberg, who arranged the connection as a demonstration of how long-distance, ultra fast connections are inexpensive and easy to set up. The most difficult part of all this was reportedly installing Windows.
