My favourite story of the day

According to the BBC, an Island community of Monks get hacked off with dial up, so upgrade to broadband. According to Father Daniel:

"Patience is one of the characteristics of monastic life, but even the patience of the Brothers was being tested by our slow internet".
Best of all is the reason the Monks need a faster link-up. They are engaged in e-commerce, selling handmade candels and sweets. The Internet is impacting people in the most unlikely circumstances.
