I’m not a network guy. I don’t even pretend to be one. But like a champ, rose to the occasion to set up a network in my partner’s studio. And it works. Mostly. The trick of course, is running a Windows application in an all-Mac environment and networking that application to three machines.
Data, data everywhere
Information has gone from scarce to superabundant. That brings huge new benefits, but also big headaches. A special report from The Economist.
