>>>In the latter case, you only need access to a Zip drive on the network so why in the world would you need Zip drives on every computer? . . . Frankly, it sounds like a very badly run, seat-of-the-pants computer network you have there.<<<

Your concept of a productive network is very typical of the innane systems being put into the large corporations today. These systems are nearly unworkable for people who have to do original work requiring large data files (engineering design and graphics for example). Once you've gone through a server crash and lost most of that day's work, you really begin to see the value of Zip disks that you keep in your possession. I should only have access to a Zip drive? Give me a break! For the cost of a Zip drive, less than $150, you feel my time (better than $100/hr burdened) is so minor that I can wander off to another building each time I need to use the company Zip? I do all work to and from Zip disks. I can work with them at home - and it's safer.

The US is, at this time, at its highest efficiency. Your networking concepts will do their best to halt this insane growth.

Good luck
