+### The Nomad
+
+Alice is always on the move, often with her trusty netbook and a small
+handheld terabyte USB drive, or a smaller USB keydrive. She has a server
+out there on the net. All these things can have different files on them,
+but Alice no longer has to deal with the tedious process of keeping them
+manually in sync.
+
+When she has 1 bar on her cell, Alice queues up interesting files on her
+server for later. At a coffee shop, she has git-annex download them to her
+USB drive. High in the sky or in a remote cabin, she catches up on
+podcasts, videos, and games, first letting git-annex copy them from
+her USB drive to the netbook (this saves battery power).
+
+When she's done, she tells git-annex which to keep and which to remove.
+They're all removed from her netbook to save space, and Alice knowns
+that next time she syncs up to the net, her changes will be synced back
+to her server.
