[nfbcs] any experience with JAWES and open office

[Steve Jacobson]

Again, a home server or a network-wide backup drive is a different thing than deciding how large a drive needs to 
be installed in a single computer, particularly a laptop.  I really don't think there is a serious argument here, 
but rather different questions are being answered.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
