Comment on The Sneakerweb

Comments

my cellphone has been named “sneakernet” for years. it’s a throwback to a time when it was faster to walk a zip disk across campus than it was to send it.

I'd walk with my CRT monitor and tower (stuffed all cables, mouse, keyboard inside) over to my friend's to play games/mess with computers a couple decades ago. We called it the "sneakernet", too.

A simpler time, with South Park on RralPlayer. And before with Leisure Suit Larry.

And if you use your cellphone as a USB mass storage device, it still is!

it’s the wifi hotspot name.
