Since many of us use it every day, it is easy to lose sight of just how remarkable the internet can be. This morning, I had a quick chat with my friend Peter, who is usually downstairs in the building our companies share. Today, though, he is in Croatia.

You think that is weird -- I just reprogrammed my office phone system so that when someone calls my office number, the call gets automatically routed to my mobile phone here in Zagreb. About 2 minutes later, I got a mz first call (it was a telemarketer!).

Woah. I'm on Fedora Core 2, and I use Gaim a lot, and when I brought up the site with the pic of the conversation window, I totally thought some guy IMmed me!

Peter: I'm not quite sure how it is with US Mobile operators, but normally you pay up to the border of your own country when you recieve a phone call in a forein country. Of course, if you've bought a simcard in Croatia itself you're ok.
If not, I'd check your phone bill....
