Nix on a network, for now at least. The whole idea of trying to do all this in the small form factor box
was to have something self-contained and very portable. Even re something more basic, for example, the
Tech. Support guy I had talked to on my pre-sales call said "You'd be able to dupe a DVD in 45 minutes,
compared to 3 hours on even the best laptop." (In retrospect: Wait a minute -- do *any* laptops even offer
a built-in dvd-writing drive ? I don't think so.) His comparison may or may not be valid, but I don't
think it was predicated on SCSI hardware.
