Stu - nice idea! It still needs another PC on the network tho, costing money, consuming power & generating heat & noise.

Jeremy - maybe make one of those "2 devices" a hub? (-;

Matthew - ho yus! These days it ought to be Gig, tho that would add a few quid to the price.

Marvin - yeah, but if the printer, scanner and hub are all in the house, and the laptop's with me in the garden....?
