+1. Mr. A and Mrs. B meet live, say in a cafe or on a train, to collaborate
+by using laptops. They open their computers that are equipped with wireless
+connectivity (e.g. WLAN/WiFi or Bluetooth) and appropriate network drivers,
+so that an ad-hoc network emerges automatically as the machines discover
+each-other (by using e.g. the IETF Zeroconf protocol for IP configuration).
+Via Storm they can see the data the other is sharing, along with their own
+as well as the external documents they have with them. Before leaving, hence
+disconnecting, they can choose the documents to take with them (i.e. copy).
+
+2. A and B work separately on the same document, so that there are now two
+different versions of it -- let's call them them versions 1.1a and 1.1b.
+Then they contact each other via e.g. e-mail, sending their new documents as
+attachments.
+
+3. B publishes the document on the Internet, hosting on her laptop only.
+
+4. A and some other people view and comment the document with their
+machines.
+
+5. B travels with the laptop, taking it off-line.
+
+6. Increasingly many people continue to look at the document.
+
+7. B arrives at a friend of hers, reconnects the laptop.
