Well, yea, I suppose if you could get *two* swallows to cooperate, they
could carry a 3592 tape cartridge between them. Even a 3592 cartridge
fully laden with 300 GB of data weighs less than a coconut, but I still
say the air speed of two such swallows would be somewhat less than, say,
a 747.....:-)

Perhaps he's suggesting that cores migrate? (cat herders ... they've
seen it all, you know!)
Wait a minute! Supposing *two* swallows carried a 3592 together? * ...
*simple! They'd just use a strand of 9-track held under the dorsal
guiding feathers! Well, why not?
