Well, this is fun.
I know, it seems hard to believe that the same people responsible for the NBN couldn’t get an entire nation of people to access the same website on the same day! Hmmm…..while we wait (first for the excuses and recriminations, I assume) and then for it to be sorted, we can all say a massive thank you to the good people of Twitter for nailing it so well…
Ah, Homer….always there for us in our times of need.
