  Also, why have networking products when anything you buy is going to
be a full-fledged machine in it's own right?  I always thought that
aside from sharing data among several computers, networks were
supposed to SAVE the business money by not forcing companies to
buy a hard drive for EVERY machine...  I agree.  Commodore should offer
a machine that does not come with a hard drive.. they appear to be
contradicting themselves... why have a network if you already
have a hard drive? (actually, I know the answer to this, so no flames 
please.. you use a network so you can have an even bigger hard drive
that everyone shares... but, in the case of a network, why have a hard
drive at all? :) )
