Hehe, with the improvements in internet connections nowadays, we |
| 11 |
almost stopped transferring backups via sneakernet. Calculating the |
| 12 |
transfer speed of the internet connection vs. the speed calculating |
| 13 |
miles per hour, internet almost always won lately. :-) |

Most internet connections are faster than even USB sticks these days. |
| 16 |
LAN connections tailored towards storage are even fast then ordinary |
| 17 |
hard disks (i.e. SAN). |

Nice fun fact, tho. If go "a station wagon full", it probably still |
| 20 |
holds true today. |
