From what I've heard, neither can NT, really. Especially since IE
tends to store its cache in user space, which then gets transported
right around campus over the network everry time someone logs on...
Combine that with the 10 Mb ethernet virtually all universities still
use as their network architecture (with woefully overloaded segments,
usually, even), and.. well, let's just say _I_ wouldn't want to field
the complaints line.
I dread the day I am forced to work in first-line support helldesk to
be able to move up the ladder..
