Just copying c9Mb from one PC to another over my wireless network. I was "rewarded" with a time to copy of over 46k days.

Is this some sort of record?

ps It didn't actually take as long as Vista said it would <vbg>

I'm afraid not. When it actually DOES take 46k days, then it will be a world's record, so let us know when this happens.

I think if you set up two telegraphers, it would be faster sending the data by Morse code, transcribing it, and re-entering the data manually. Even if the participants had to learn Morse code.

In case those reading this post haven't worked it out, 46k days = 126 years!
I'm not sure what version of ElevateDb Tim (or his great grand-kids) will be working on in 2139, but I bet it will be really cool.

I'm in really good health, but not *that* good of health.

Attach your PC to a treadmill/stationary bike and make it so that you have
to power it manually.

Could this practice of yours have anything to do with your regular
absences from these ngs!  <vbg>

Have you EVER tried typing whilst cycling (or walking)?

A very unfit Roy

I just recommend this for other people - I would never be crazy enough
to try it myself.

That's what a battery is for.

You have a battery-powered exo-skeleton? Excellent.
