you're right, we could do it in more than one way. like copying with mcopy without mounting a fat disk. the question is where to put it. why we do it is an important thing. taking place as a clueless user, i think i should be able to do anything. i'd be happy to accept proof that multi-user is a solution for clueless user, not because it's proven on servers. but because it is a solution by definition.
