Hey, I know! Let's move to gigabit Ethernet switch on a live LAN and it ought to take 1/10th the time (let's assume Collision detect & resend does not apply in a live LAN, in keeping with the "Dead Ostrich Theory Of Applied Physics")! So, now it can be done in 2 hours, right? Huh? What do you mean I have to think about the NICs in the mix also? What the hell kind of deal are you trying to pull here?!? Just try it before you tell me it can't be done!!! Damned computer geeks. What the hell do they know anyway? Well, I ain't gonna pay some idiot for telling what can't be done. I pay for results, damn it! Heh-heh...
