Oooh! The memories. First year university in Australia and discovering the internet, IPs and FTP. Everything felt so accessible then. Even 20 3.5" disks for an install of SLS Linux felt easy and effortless... Now, shoot me if I need to transfer not in a network.

I used to get new Slackware by taking over a row of lab machines and FTPing to A:. I'd move all but one chair out of the way & roll down the line; by the time the last one was started the first one was done. I would get A, AP, and N sets and then download the rest from my apartment.
