- Ok happy campers did they change 'FTP' from 'file transfer protocal'
- To 'Foot Transfer Protocal' so that we no longer have to call it
- 'sneaker net' when we drop on disk, race to far host, and read
- disk in.....
-
-
- Or is it really the case that the small child has a modem on
- some PCbox, and has to sneaker net between them....
-
-
- even the dull witted could rig a null modem between them....
-
- But I guess when one thinks from /dev/null, its
- not surprising what comes next....
