High bandwidth network

Today I had to install the software we've been working on with Mauricio and Jorge for the thesis. The only thing I had to do was copy a few jar files in the correct places, deploy an ear file and leave. However, if it seems simple it won't be. There was no Internet access on the machine and no access to any machine that was plugged to the net. To make a long story short, it took me about an hour and a half to get the files and about 10 minutes to do what I was supposed to do with them. It is funny how, even with all the network connectivity we have nowadays the answer to moving file from one place to another in this particular case wasl snicker net, where a guy tossing 3.5" diskettes around increases the speed of the connection by walking faster and the bandwidth by carrying more disks .
