That being said I would love to read this same article written by an average joe

I assumed that it was written by your "average Joe", given the difficulty with sending a large file. The user is on a Linux laptop, and none of the half dozen ways to pull that off come to mind? Okay, fair enough, some people's necks can't even grow a beard. But if you're saying that's not the case, I'm a little disappointed in the author.
