Quietly amazed as to how much of my life has been about file transfer, about getting data from device A to device B.
First of all it was kermit (and its z, x, and ymodem bretheren). Then it was VMS's non interactive file transfer, then good old unix ftp with a bit of uucp on the side, followed by rcp and rsync, plus the joys of http upload.
Now it's full circle and shipping data over bluetooth using asynchronous protocols ...
