Size of Interweave nodes

[Foxboy]

I think part of it is that "plot" demands, mostly, that the "Interwave" nodes be similarly as hard to move around as the Internet Backbone on earth.

The actual hardware that does the "oomph" can be as small as an iPod slathered in Mnemosyne's Honey, but the connections to the rest of the Interwave and maintenance supplies, etc. take up a lot of space.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
