A related bit of humor is to calculate the bandwidth of a station wagon
(I guess I should say a minivan today) filled with mag tapes. I
calculate something
Well, here's a good thing to read if you like that:

ROTFL! Fabulous! (Note the date on the RFC, though. :-)
What's the significance of the date?

There were even floppy labels someone had made up that said
SneakerNet. They were actually kind of handy because I always knew
the contents were freely erasable.
Thanks Clark for the information I realized when I read

Of course, we all have it easy now. My dad regales me with stories of
carting cases of drive cartridges and 8-inch floppies (look just like
the old 5 1/4 floppies, just much bigger) up and down flights of stairs.
Good exercise I suppose :)
You too? They made using the paper punch tapes seem easy. 1-4 oz tape in its
box was equal to about 5-10 lbs of cards and so easy (for the time)! Line
the tape up in the reader and push the start button compared to aligning a
pile of cards and hoping they fed straight.

using my Zip drive to sneakernet between the two puters.
Okay you got my attention, what is sneakernet and how do you do it using the
Zip drive. Is this the only way it can be done or are there other ways to do
this snekernet?
Attach zip drive to one machine, copy files to zip disk. Detach from
that machine, attach it to other machine, copy files off. Or, if both
machines have zip drives, just move the disk back and forth.
Usually there's some amount of walking involved, hence sneakernet. Used
to be synonymous with

Yup. Barefoot, then it's barefootnet.
It's just carrying the disc from one computer to the other.
