A moron is a person who offers nitwit advice on subjects upon which they are
completely ignorant.  Ever run a public workstation lab requiring maintenance
and updating of hundreds of floppies across campus?  Then consider the possibi
lity of all of those machines reaching out on bootup to grap a boot image
from a single copy on a server, and you'll understand the point.  But you 
morons are in good company:  the people at Apple (who definitely aren't
morons) don't understand or care much about it either.
