I can see an obvious thing to put on a 256mb optical drive... a student's working environment. This is an alternate solution to the problem addressed by Athena or Andrew... the student walks up to any NeXT machine on campus, puts his $50 optical disk in, and reboots. Now it's *his* machine. The workstation becomes the 1990s version of a 1980s floppy-based campus PC. Of course the security problems this would cause a network are obvious... I hope the NeXTwork (heh) has more in common with Athena than NFS. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti International Controls Corporation. "Have you hugged U your wolf today?" peter@ficc.uu.net
