They have Internet within the country - not very much of it - but some.
And they use it (well?).

Not even close to a record. In 1987 (I think it was) a virus written by
two graduate students in Texas entered 500 computers in under a minute.
The Internet Virus (1988) got into 60,000 computers in something under 6
hours (300 per minute sustained).
The recent (modified) Code Red virus got into 200,000 computers in 10
hours (over 2,000 per minute).

Not I... In truth, from what I have seen of the Afghani embasadore,
they seek peace with the West and are trying to supress bad things in
their country. But some in their nation have used cyber systems to aide
the PLO in their information operations against Israel. This is not a
very important or impressive thing, but it exists.
> Fred, You should really leave a peace loving slumberer hibernate :).
I was trying to, but then the sun came up and I just had to waken.
