Just going to write up something quick because I was spending most of the day out with the rest of the marketing dept. working on something fun, but I wanted to draw your attention to today’s strip of “Real Life,” a comic written by gaming geek (and trained chef) Greg Dean, the premise, of course, being that Greg gets to (cheer/cry/laugh/fume) about events in his real life.

I’ve been a reader of “Real Life” since the “Fuego” comic. (I named a tabletop RPG character "Fuego" after the comic. Fuego had no fire-based powers, but he chose the name because "it just sounds so cool.")

I’m copying today’s cartoon for you, and it explains why “fast” Internet isn’t always as “fast” as you’d expect, and it shows the difference between throughput and latency.
