Getting Ntuple home

• Easier way: the WAN. T1 for 2 (500Kbit/sec/user) ? 0.5GByte/hour(now we deal with CDF notes, a few MBytes, here we go x1000 !)

  • 6 hours to get my Ntuple, a day or two more likely… NO WAY !
    • internet future may be brighter, Ntuples may be bigger…
    • if possible: maybe slow, likely unsafe, but easy

• 3 alternative solutions:

  • Don’t do it! Run “PAW” at Fnal (just Xterm+telnet). Fast, easy and safe
    • 500Kbit/s = 10 good Xterm sessions (or 5 perfect)
  • FedEx (1 lb., 5 days a week) easy and safe
    • Fnal -> US 1st(2nd) day: 400(200) $/year
    • Fnal -> Europe/Japan/Taiwan: 7 K$/year
  • create Ntuple locally from FedEx’ed PADs safe but hard
