I'm having the darndest time figuring out how linked placed images are supposed to work. I've outlined below what I've figured out about linked and unlinked placed images. They all seem to hold for Illustrator 8 and 9 on Mac and Windoze. The manual does not make things any clearer. 

Linked 1) serves dual purpose of updating graphics on the one hand and reducing page size on the other (overall drive memory footprint is higher) 2) can potentialy be handled by Pa Bell 3) provides no preview 4) does not print with rest of page 5) includes full original graphic EPS in page file 

Unlinked 1) serves single purpose of keeping graphics integrated with document 2) cannot be handled by Pa Bell without major revisions (see point 5) 3) provides full preview 4) prints with rest of page 5) does not include original graphic EPS because Illustrator parses EPS and re-writes it with the page
