TheITbaby ABCs of network failure

realized I had no great ABC thing to teach Maggie that also taught her the problems faced by companies buying substandard network cabling and the ensuing issues caused by packet loss along with some random tidbits about images I found and computer history.

While I had not intended to publish this yet as I haven’t gotten all the graphics in, I hit publish due to a weird issue with my laptop that caused me to do the same thin on another blog… eh, well, this will be updated throughout the day until it’s done

So without further delay:
