Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] sneakernet wins again!

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I was thinking last night that the original network discussed in this 
thread cannot be called 'sneakernet' as it employs the 'snail mail' 
system and not an actual person in sneakers moving the data from place 
to place.   I had thought about posting this and suggesting a name 
change to 'snailnet'.

Now you've gone and rendered that impossible.

Thanks :(
