Is anyone else sick of Tony abbot claiming Malcolm Turbull invented the 
internet? Im sure im going to get a flame for being off topic. But it's 
starting to Sx! me up the wall.

I clearly remember Malcolm Turnbul and Sean Howard's faces when they 
first saw the xylogics annex's with netcomm modems that Microplex had 
been using for months to provide slip and ppp when OzEmail provided an 
email only service and that was a good year after APANA was offering SLIP.

Annoying... Any lurking jurno's after fact's if A quick google cant 
reveal the truth.
