"...a new breakthrough update means that not only is its physical footprint massively reduced, but also its cost. Depending on the amount of storage space required for files, for less than $50 anyone can now run a PirateBox wireless file-sharing system."

"I am looking for digital files--written words, poems, original music, audio recordings, videos, animations, anything you can create that says something about this moment in time, what you are doing, or the place you are at, you or the sounds in your back yard--or even what you had for lunch today. Capture your moment!"

'Students started sharing non-class related materials, their favorite albums and so on.'"
