  • Reminds me of the report of the first failure of the first arcade video games machine - it turned out that the coin box was full and the backlog had jammed the coin mech. With new public-facing technology there are often teething problems triggered by shear popularity. Generally things evolve to cope in the end. (If we could get the railways sorted out, there'd be less need to use the car for long inter-urban journeys like that anyway.)
