for comparing internetworking with driving a car but I feel that FTP'ing

(and since most documents are being distributed for professional
reasons,
they should know).
Another option is to pay someone to drive you around. If you look into it,
you can see that an established market for electronic document exchange
services already exists.
Hmm. The problem with this analogy is the extension "I know you can drive a
car; however, you really should learn to drive a truck as it is much more
efficient for large loads" which is of course true.......
