Yup, and it's good to watch people's faces when they don't believe that such
behaviour is possible. I also had some fun last week with someone who'd been
'educated' in the ways of Windows 'clusters' - it took him several
minutes
to come to terms with a filesystem that was accessible by any machine in the
cluster *at the same time* and one that was set up in minutes. He wanted to
know why such a filesystem wasn't everywhere and I couldn't honestly answer
him other than saying 'cost'.

A  
That and MOP load were wonderful.  I've tried to do diskless client under
winders (95 through NT4/server) and no one can say how it's done but all 
said it could be.  Gah!

Who was it that had the signline of something like:  

Don't you wish you could buy now what DEC had then.
