2 hours for 4%? no wonder bro was angry. also I've decided Winston is incredible I had no clue a pigeon could fly 60 miles per hour so consistently (or was it 60 miles of roadway?)

So at their company they say: "This could have been a pigeon." instead of "This could've been an email"

fun fact: theres an app called Roost that let's you send messages at the speed of whatever bird (or snail) you have access to. therefore letting you send mail by pigeon or snail mail

I know this is old, but 1 hour to transfer from the USB to the server? Were they using 1980's computers?
