Thanks, Rick.
I guess I do not understand what you said in #2 ?
The internet is just a collection of nodes (hard drives, etc.)
connected by various telephone, satellite, etc. - it's simply
an expansion of the university / NASA thing that started
years ago. Are you saying that I should spread my family
videos over this network of nodes? Really do not think that I want
complete strangers looking at my family A/Vs for any reason.
If that is not what you are saying, then what specific random
access media do you suggest that I go out and purchase today?
Thanks,
Gene
