OK, you're the second person who has recommended DAVE. Please explain
to me what the great benefits of DAVE is. Microsoft's "Services for
Macintosh" already gives me the ability to share files, browse the
network and mount shared volumes.
When I looked at DAVE many months ago it looked like you had to load a
whole bunch of extensions and control panels. It sounds like DAVE would
give me pop-up messages and the ability to see the print queues but that
seems like a heavy price to pay just for that. Is there more to DAVE
then that?
