I am a member of a local LUG (Linux User Group) here in Anchorage. We meet on 
Friday niights for a hands on lab session self support etc.

One comment about bandwidth around the LUG: 'never under stimater the bandwidth of 
a station wagon full of tapes' This is a paraphrase of an old saying , hence the 
tape refernce?

The poin being, transfering large data   sets can be accomplished by loading up 
the old auto and driving them, locally, seems like you could also  mail a hard 
drive, USB stick somwhere  in a timely fashion.
