Regardless of their capabilities, it does cost them money and 6 x 700 MB for
each of us is a lot of bandwidth. Therefore, I think it's better if we make
copies for each other.
We have several meetings a month and many of us show up regularly enough for
this to work. Our only issue is that the eastside<=>westside pony express
doesn't run a regular route :).
