Several years ago I was (as usual!) the only Mac user in a whole
building of PC users. Used Dave to tie into the network. Worked
great. The IT people were amazed how little problems they had with
me, since there were constant problems with the PC people on the
network (yes - they were having problems before I came online, and
continued to have them!).
