Hey Dave, how are you doing today?
I uploaded a 12 gigabyte point cloud to my business partner yesterday. Some of that is cheating in that a LAS file is just text, lots of numbers. It zipped down to 4 GB. I uploaded that in just a short time, less than 15 minutes. It just boggles my mind. I was on my 4th or 5th computer at home before I even owned a hard drive big enough to hold that 12 gig file. And to upload it in a very reasonable time is just something I would have never dreamed about in the day of DOS. I had no concept of terabyte hard drives. It is just astonishing to me to have lived through it.
I guess it it much like my old boss. He was born in a time when there was no radio broadcast. Radio was a neat new thing. Then TVs and to see man walk on the moon was just an astonishing accomplishment. My 12 gif file is a long way from man on the moon, but just as unbelievable to me.
