I was actually thinking about freenet/sneakernets the other day, realizing that sneakernet bandwidth is going up much, much faster than bandwidth over dsl, ethernet or fibre connections: I bought a 8GB memory card for my phone for about 60 ?. I carry this to and from work every day: 8GB full-duplex. Not a whole lot compared to many fibre connections in Sweden, but compared to say DSL upstream it starts looking pretty good. This is without me having to even think about carrying that data, as opposed to carrying a 3.5" disk. Now, if freenet would just run on J2ME... ;) I guess I will have to get a phone with a --- John B?ckstrand
