[Stones] Email server issues / broadband ...

Hi Ric,

When you stop and think about it, especially as someone who broke his  
computer teeth on the likes of the ZX80 and the RML 380Z - it's all  
pretty gobsmacking really isn't it? So much we take for granted every  
day - which is why I didn't spot the issue for a couple of days.

Ugh! That's reminding me of a horror story I was involved in - trying  
to get ADSL installed for the M.D. of the company I work for. Yeah,  
I'm the IT Manager, so I get to sort out his home broadband for him.  
He lives in the 'middle of nowhere' of course, very nice cottage in a  
little Leicestershire village that barely appears on the map. On the  
day of the install he had a big BT truck pull up outside with an  
engineer asking, "So, where did you want your new telegraph pole  
putting?"... Long story, but believe me - I feel your pain!

Chris
