Hrmmm, some stuff gets transported, yes, but it would be relatively
easy to severely limit cache size in the first place, even if you
couldn't turn off zapping it over the net entirely, which I think you
can.

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.

Heh, I wish all our network was 10mb switched.  We've still got an
entire lab daisy-chained off one port.  Hoping that will change real
soon.

I dread the day I am forced to work in first-line support helldesk to
be able to move up the ladder..

Been there, done that.  Now I'm taking care of the servers and some of
the workstations.  Just started that job and don't even *have* a phone
yet.
