   This was from August 7, 1992. 37 meg a day! Wow.  

   So in curiousity I checked how much Linux stuff I moved on the average day,
   NOW.  The answer is almost a gigabyte. Per day.  We've come a *long*
   way. ;)  

Well, TSX-11 transfers between 2 and 4 gigabytes per day.  And this is
despite the fact that it also doubles as my workstation!!!   (That's
going to be fixed soon, though!)

P.S.   The geographical breakdown is also really interesting; Linux is
certainly a world-wide phenomena!  

Here's a quiz for you: how many two-letter ISO country codes can _you_
translate?  :-)
