(OT)Re: [HSF] Wiki article

(This is really (OT))
When I read the sentence on printing of an article  I got a flash back.
The first time I ever saw a color ink jet  printer print out was when Dr 
Sukumar Mehta had sent me a New Years greeting many years ago which had 
been printed using a color printer (which was a very rare thing in those 
days !!!!).
I bet he doesn't remember that but it was something  which on seeing 
made me say "Wow". Now we take these things for granted !!!
I remember trying to desperately download a 112 Kb file that was sent  
in the HSF server long ago with a jittery dial up connection and I was 
really p**&^d off because it would take forever to download it (I had to 
then do it after 11 PM as that was the "free time" when we could 
download "large attachments". It finally was downloaded after repeated 
broken downloads at 2.00 AM. How things change !!
I still remember Ovidio making a video of the eMAZE in Mexico and 
sending to Dr Levinson who made it digital and posted it to me (It first 
went to Indonesia and was redirected thereafter to India !!!) and today 
I can receive a large file effortlessly via Pando. !!
Things have changed.
What do members think will be our life a decade later ?
