Erm... at least once every few months I need to transfer multiple GB of data between computers, and it's not pirated media. Photos/video from my camera, music that I actually own, etc..

I know my way around computers, so I can set up the FTP server on my wife's MacBook Air (for example), but it might be trickier for a "regular" person to do it.

Well, on second thought -- thumb drives are pretty big and pretty cheap nowadays. It'd be tough to sell two USB devices for sharing data when someone can just buy, say, a 32 GB thumb drive for $30.
