Short on anything that counts, for sure. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Larkin obviously doesn't. What kind of Model T computer do you use? Sounds like one of those machines wit Same Day Boot. I routinely move 11Gig files across the LAN in 3 minutes. Sound like more than 30 mega bits to me. Moving that same file from drive 1 to drive 0 in the same machine goes at the same rate and these are garden variety SATA drives from Frys. G²

Networks for consumers are at 20M BITS per second on a good day. There are NO 30 M BYTE per second networks available anywhere. Even in your retarded neck-o-the-woods. And of course I know that there are faster HD transfers. Not on your pathetic machine with your pathetic drives, however. Not on his either.

Good. Put all of them in a large trash bag and insert them up your well-used rectum. Use a jack-hammer if needed.
