Supastar told me of a disk defragmenter for free (Power Defragmenter, I think it was called. Anyway it's at www.excessive-software.tk
I downloaded it and wondered where the devil tk was. Well, tk is the country code for Tokelau which is one of 3 small atolls (10 sq. km) called Oceania and administered by New Zealand. It is about 1/2 way between Hawaii and NZ.
The internet site was set up there by some guys from Holland I believe and it depends on satellite. The article at www.dot.tk tells how they set it up--the island had telephone service with NZ (2 cables one for outgoing phone; the other for incoming.) And they made the telephone incoming and outgoing on 1 cable and used the other for the internet connection. Tokelau has no industry to speak of; no natural resources either. The site that tells you all about Tokelau (Oceania) is www.cia.gov.
For how the site got built, go to the dot.tk and read thek paragraph beginning "Tokelau is a small place."
Check it out.
