Hi,
About fifteen years or so ago we had tons of data (on magnetic tape, yet) that needed to go from Seattle to Los Alamos for processing. After considering many options, it was decided that a person driving it down and bringing the results back would be by far the fastest. As a result, someone coined the phrase: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a microbus filled with tapes."
