**Software / media updates.**
-Distributed apt-get / windows update
+As an example of a different application,
+pointer records could be used to implement
+a p2p version of software upgrades
+such as Debian's ``apt`` or Windows update.
+This could yield large bandwidth savings
+with the additional benefit of being able to
+(due to the simple underlying model requiring
+only the blocks)
+for example burn the new versions and their pointers to a CD
+to take to a machine that is not connected
+to a network.
-- obvious bandwidth savings
+XXX Onion ref?
-- like onion networks, but storing the version info
+versioning
is also distributed - no central server needed
