   Methinks you got an extra zero in there.  Perhaps *5%* of the general
population at home has broadband.  (Businesses are different, and have a
much higher percent.)  As part of my volunteer work with a non-profit, I
am finding that the broadband users are increasing, but 5% is still about
the right number.  (I'm still surprized at the number of people who don't
even use email!)

   Oh, I regularly at work transfer files using floppy and sneaker-net.  I
personally often prefer other methods, but the recipient has specific
requirements.  This is at a national lab which is in the forefront of
technology research.
