Local news agency SAPA reported the 11-month-old pigeon, Winston, took one hour and eight minutes to fly the 80 km (50 miles) from Unlimited IT's offices near Pietermaritzburg to the coastal city of Durban with a data card was strapped to his leg.

 

Including downloading, the transfer took two hours, six minutes and 57 seconds -- the time it took for only four percent of the data to be transferred using a Telkom line.

OC Extreme Forums still active.

I'm very surprised to see that there are still those who visit, register, and post topics in OC Extreme Forums! (OCXF).

OCXF is just a temporary forum while Net-25's Convergence Forums was down. I can't regularly check this site.

I strongly suggest we continue our discussions at the new CNVF: http://convergence.net-25.com/

I hate the new Via Arena Website.

The new Via Arena Website has lots of ads and you have to use the sponsor software before you can download any driver.
