BING! BING! BING!
We have a winner. I am seeing this very poli-drama being played out right now at my institution. The multi-decade tenured staff will not change from business processes implemented to fit a bad system bought 3 decades ago; and will not listen because they don't have to.

You can still install via floppies...

I installed OS/2 first, pulled the distro from a BBS, then installed Slackware from boot floppies and the FAT partition where I downloaded the distro. If I remember correctly, this required significantly fewer floppies. And the 9600 baud modem could spend all night pulling down the distro for the next morning.

If this is how you expect the Internet to built out in Oz, you will never have a useful, effective, dynamic Internet. "Won't the Big US Monopolies please come and build an Internet for us because we can't build our own!"
