[G4] New system...

[sr ferenczy]

1.7 gb?? nah, thats nothing =)  back when i was in school (the whole 
two years it has been) we would look for the biggest and best downloads 
to try to saturate my school's dual OC3 lines. It was simply marvelous 
having a gigabit enet machine hooked up to a gigabit enet jack on an 
dual OC3 backbone (oh, and it is amazing how fast Internet2 flies!) 
those were the days when harddrives were the bottleneck, not the 
connection, when it came to download speeds..... <sigh>   if only i had 
a 310 mbps backbone now...

anyway, thats it
