The internet connection for the whole of Sweden went down for almost an hour when routine maintenance broke every single .se address.

Well, it didn't matter much. Two reasons:

* Most Swedish sites don't use .se. More common are .nu, .net, .org and .com.
* I don't have any internet connection anyway, as it takes to public phone company 3-5 effing weeks to connect my lines to my new address.
