Chris emailed me this news item:Sneakernet is the new hot thing!!! And, why not?

What with broadband getting more and more expensive, thumbnail sized 20-gig firewire drives getting cheaper and cheaper and Big Brother-style federal government getting more and more nosy, why not Sneakernet!

Here’s how: instead of emailing that file home, put it on a harddrive and carry it with you! Simple! No firewall, no nosy network admin asking you about anything, no file attachment nonsense. Just good old fashioned hard drives…er, attached via Firewire (IEEE 1394) or USB 2.0.

Wheeee!
