The data requirements of a team of people are often very complex. *Somebody* has to deal with that complexity. It is either centralized in the factory that makes the computer (as in the Mac), or centralized in the system administrator of the team. The latter case is better when the computer maker cannot anticipate all the needs of the team, and the team is forced to jump into the thicket to create an environment suitable for its work. Also, nobody has satisfactorilly solved the problem of making a network of computers easy to use. Thus, any significantly large team that must communicate data needs local system administration.
