They didn't mention (but there are photos of) the $250k CRS-1 they installed in her home to terminate the oc-768.
A standard PC can't keep up with an OC-768 either. She would need a cluster of four machines (with quad PCIe 16x slots) with 32 drives on each (total 128 drives) to read/write an oc-768 at full speed.
That doesn't describe my mom's house, but I guess folks in Sweden are different. ;)

I wonder how long until she becomes a Newsvine user?
