Right after I got 10 gigabit internet at home, NTT Flets (the fiber network I'm on) announces the planned availability of 25 gigabit FTTH next year! They've also started considering offering 50 Gbit to homes…

It took 5 years for 10G to make it from Tokyo down to Kagoshima, so I guess I have another 5 year wait for 25G?

They also provided this lovely diagram

To me the holidays have always had a mental connection to playing with classic Macs, since as a kid visiting relatives also meant visiting my uncle who had a sweet PowerMac 7100 setup, lots of magazine cover discs to peruse, etc

For my #GlobalTalk friends this year I've prepared a little holiday fun pak - a collection of utilities, icons, schemes and games to give your Mac a festive glow-up!

Check it out on Blackbird (or landisk) on BaroNet on GlobalTalk!
