I just hope British Telecom has read this article. Just in case I have sent a copy to their HQ



Thanks Mari A

dear lord not more Fins on the internet

There's plenty of free wireless internet in the UK too, not strictly legal tho.

my laptop has a 286 processor and DOS operating system and is an ever present reminder why I never bought another laptop as you cant upgrade the expensive load of rubish

Interesting.
Of course, any one of the net-kids could easily hack into any one of the usual fools who tend to use wireless. All those credit card numbers can buy an awful lots of mc'donalds and playstation games

Enough to a manuscript a new "Scary Movie" I suppose?
No more Aliens from Space, all we need is some Finns someplace on Earth that isn't still located in all maps as a country called Finland
