'''Amateur Transplants''' is a band comprising two medical [[Physician|doctors]], Dr. [[Adam Kay]] and Dr. [[Suman Biswas]]. Their album ''[[Fitness to Practice]]'' contains comic songs dealing with medical subjects as well as containing the infamous [[London Underground (song)|London Underground]] song - see lyrics [http://solo2.abac.com/themole/london_underground_song.htm] (contains strong language). 10% of the proceeds from Fitness to Practice are donated to [[Macmillan Cancer Relief]]. Many of their parodies are based on the works of American comedian/song writer [[Tom Lehrer]]. In 2005 they performed at the [[Edinburgh Fringe]].

'''AbleNET''' is an [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] network. It was founded, May 2001, by [[AfterNET]] Co-Founder and long-time Admin Anthony Sanchez and several others from that network. The network was set up primarily as a chat network for friends, and as a response to growing disillusionment with the policies of some of the [[AfterNET]] administrators. Several users from AbleNET were involved in the creation of [[AfterNET]]; some even tracing their usage back to [[TheNET]] and [[InnerNET]].

Amateur Transplants are in the process of creating another album 'Unfit to Practice'.<ref>http://www.myspace.com/theamateurtransplants Retrieved 26th July 2006</ref>

AbleNET is a small network with an average of 150-300 users online at any given time. The [[Undernet]]-compatible [[IRCu]] [[Daemon (computer software)|daemon]] software is used on the servers. [[IRC_Services|Channel services]] are provided using [[srvx]]; the user authentication service is named AuthServ and the channel service is named X.

AbleNET is noted for its distinct lack of [[IRCOp]]s, instead using various services to control the flow of network stability and activity. Additionally, the Network is noted for its high standards of access, regarding the limit of multiple connections and unverifiable "bots".
