          Their site is written in such a way that you can only claim back a month. Where are those terms and conditions ? Oh, I see, I could claim them, if I had joined no more than 30 days from the date of travel.

            They were actually inside the member section of the site (after logging in) where you make the claim (after clicking on "claim points" or similar).

              It was killed off by 100TX because it was much slower and cost more.

                A) It doesn't. B) It lost a popularity contest, much like Beta and VHS. Cheers, Drew.

                  B). Dilbert explained it very nicely a few years ago. When you disconnect the cable, the token ring can fall out of the connector, get lost, and they are very hard to find... Steve

                      What I understand from Token Ring protocol tells me that it should get slower as the network size increases.

                          So are you sure about your first answer.... ? Even i think that it doesn't really care if you use ethernet or token ring as long as it's connected properly.
