Just re-read Jack's post re: 'file sharing'. This, I think, is going to be
the most cost effective way to go, and it'll be fairly flexible. (I could
get WHS later, if configuration or setup proves to be too much of a hassle
for me...)

Sorry, Jack, I must have missed this suggestion in all the excitement...

Cheers,
