I don't know many schools that are open at midnight to accept thumb drives.
Of course, if the kid planned better, s/he wouldn't be in photo-finish hell. (And I speak as someone who regularly crowded deadlines in school.)
Well kids will be kids.
More compelling is the argument of collaborative creation of PowerPoint slide stacks with lots of graphic elements with a geographically distributed group of people. Particularly if any of the information in the slides is company confidential. Better upstream speeds will speed the collaboration, particularly in the final stages. Text is fast; full-color graphics can be slow.
Yep. The assumption that because you are sending from home it is not time critical is absolutely bogus. Upstream speeds really are just as important as downstream speeds. It just that it is not normally needed as much of the time. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka () isc org
