And you can count.   How big are the pages, how many of them
do you need to get out.  Add some overhead for TCP and HTTP
and you're roughly covered.  Pushing a 10k paper over a T1
we can use a back of paper and realize that you can do 6 of
those per second.

This IS computer science.  We have numbers.
