Hey, Gordon, I already have a home Ethernet network. But my "garage" is
an 80-year-old, termite-ridden, leaky-roofed, dirt-floored, dark and
damp barn, with aging amateur wiring and no security. So I really don't
think one of my Macs is going out there soon. Heck, I don't even let my B
in there!
But it could be really handy, I suppose. Since there is a "Find" function
in Acrobat, it would save flipping pages. I wonder, does anyone keep
their auto maintenance and expenses records on a computer in their garage?
