[P1] The Mac Rules

Very cool.  But to be picky (midnight and all that :-) ) ,
sounds like it is a Filemaker standalone being used to host
clients, rather than "Filemaker Server"?

I'm waiting for when one can do this from a USB flash drive,
and with actual FMP Server.  Plug in the flash drive to
whatever WLAN computer is convenient, take the server home
in your pocket at night.
