Access, At Last



(click for a larger image)

When I read the bulletin from the IT department, I keeled over in laughter.

So all our dissatisfaction and grumbling have wrought a little bit of hope. Somebody forwarded the article to somebody and we (in the cc list) all put in our 2 cents worth! And SOMEBODY listened. Thou shalt not complain that my mailbox limit is only 40MB. The bulletin is the best news received this morning.

By utilizing this 'generous' allowance, I do not mean to get onto fb and play Farmville all day. I'm anti fb and don't have an account. Yes, it means I can tweet at will because twhirl finally works well when logged in to the work server and, msn has held steady instead of disco-dancing in and out of connectivity. But I still depend on the Berry mainly since I'm not not stuck to my cube all day.

By this increase in bandwidth, it really means I can now load New York Times and Spectator way faster, along with other research sites. Ahhhh.....lovely. I only hope people will exercise healthy departmental jurisprudence and may no idiot abuse the increase in bandwidth which will only kick us back to the Dark Ages.

O joy! Finally they see the light.

since the limited bandwidth does not limit such activities much, this is a smart move! at least, people who are using the bandwidth for more legitimate work-related stuff won't be affected. ;)
