Obviously, the thing that is most important to me (printing) is of very
little importance to you. Therefore, the thing that is of little
concern to me (file servers) is probably very important to you.

I don't care about file servers because I have a big disk. I got a big
disk because they are cheap and more reliable, and less hassle than
file servers (were in my company). Perhaps you know how it is.  If you
have more than 50 megabytes they start whining about how you're a disk
hog. My friend has over 330 megabytes at home. I only have 180 megabytes
at home. I couldn't imagine gobbling up 180 megs off the file server.
How many of you could?
