Hi Walter,

not that many, beeing in a niche. But for that they are huge.
I see more danger in maped drives (like Al pointed out) then benefit. User should understand UNC and the like or he is a CKI problem anyway.
If you found mapped drives it's a simple indicator that the level of computer use stuck in the early 90s. Says something about your client.
It's all about to be not willing to learn and relearn. {Don't tell me I dislike to learn metro interface / style ;) }
What is the problem placing a link somewhere instead of those mappings? Nowaydays you just drag the folder in favourites and you are done.

I just wonder that nobody mimic CP/M user ....
