Down to the Wire – Now Live

[Peter Harrison]

The following is an email announcing downtothewire.co.nz - a series of
videos about the history of the Internet in New Zealand. I was
interviewed for this series, talking about open source and the early
days of electronic bulletin boards. Should be interesting viewing.

Dear Peter

We’re delighted to announce that downtothewire.co.nz – The Story of
New Zealand’s Internet – has gone live.

http://downtothewire.co.nz

Presenter Madeleine Sami begins the story 21 years ago with ‘1989’,
the year New Zealand connected to the Internet.

We celebrate that momentous occasion through video interviews with
some of the team that physically made the connection and describe the
course it set for our nation. It’s exciting stuff!

And Flying Nun Records land with their first free MP3 download –
Inside & Out, the iconic 1989 track by Jean-Paul Sartre Experience.

We hope you enjoy this first day of Down to the Wire content. Please
don’t hesitate to leave comments on the site, offer further insights
or tell us about other important events that we should include for the
year.

Down to the Wire is New Zealand’s resource. Please help it grow by
telling your friends and colleagues.

Thanks

Doesn't render properly on android's browser. This page
http://downtothewire.co.nz/the-beginning-1989/ when you scroll about,
the page keeps fliping back to the top left and the video frame always
sits over the top.

Disappointing, i wanted to download the JPS track to my android phone.
