Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Sneakernet

Hear Hear!!!
I am a very satisfied Sneakernet afficionado.
I worked in a couple of companies with networks...I hate them.
I wasted more time farting about with cranky network issues than I ever
saved by having the miserable things in the first place.
I do the Zipdrive dance. Keeps me fit, stores lots, hard to corrupt, will
DNC at the drop of a hat.
What more could I ask for???
Cheers

Marcus
