NB>>> Well, that clears things up nicely... ;)
BM>> Yup! I know I don't know at that much about fiber optic but the
BM>> generalities still apply. Which is kind of funny as that's close to
BM>> the way the second tech described things as we were chatting about my
BM>> old tube-type oscilloscope, the serial port data switch he took a
BM>> picture of for the joke about why the customer only had 1 Kbps service,
BM>> etc.
NB>> Some things are valid across platforms, technologies and all... ;)
BM> Yup! Like with the 'low light coming in' comment of the first
BM> technician. Change that to just "too low/insufficient": doesn't
BM> matter if pulsing light, a digital signal, an analog one, it isn't
BM> enough and the receiving end doesn't have enough to work with.
Yup.
BM>> Yesterday did an update to an older machine -- is a Frontend in the
BM>> Living Room and that computer is pretty much used for only MythTV,
BM>> so watching recorded programmes vs. 'computer work'. The download of
BM>> the rather huge update didn't take long but the installation portion
BM>> did (because it is an old/slow computer).
NB>> Yup, the upgrade of the delivery system doesn't change the rest
NB>> of it, after all... ;)
BM> <whine> But why nooooooot?!
Reality. <G>
NB>> ... Hold a true friend with both your hands. - Nigerian proverb
BM> OK, so the Nigerians aren't always just trying to scam money! <g>
Not all of them, anyway... :)
