I'm in the process of obtaining a MAC so that I can shift to another  
ISP, and I'm amused at just how long I've been sat in a queue for the  
MAC department (not the front of house number: I've been transferred  
to ``the relevant department'' for about ten minutes).  I'm rather  
hoping it's a lot of other people doing the same thing.

I'm torn, though, between getting out while the going is good and  
hanging around on the offchance that I get selected.  I'm comfortable  
I could stay safe for a few weeks of Phorm --- we all use Safari, but  
I'd run up a squid instance on my offsite machine and proxy everything  
through that just to be on the safe side --- and it'd be fun to  
analyse it in depth.

Certainly, if anyone on this list is offering the chance, I'm sure a  
lot of us would beat a path to their door (literally, rather than  
figuratively) clutching analysers.
