What good are libraries?

[Stan Brown]

Libraries are good to access music, doc's, photos, etc., that are on
other computers that are on your homegroup/workgroup.

Thanks for rubbing my nose in that. And I do mean "thanks" sincerely.

When I was reading the description of libraries as being aggregates
from multiple computers, I buzzed right past that because I couldn't
imagine why anyone would keep stuff on multiple computers. But of
course you're right: when there are several people in the home it
makes perfect sense. (I suppose with several computers to one
person, he *could* want to aggregate them, but I don't see myself
working that way even though I have two.)

I was feeling quite a lot of frustration over not "getting" the
Libraries feature, but this thread has helped a lot. I understand
now that the feature wasn't really meant for someone who works the
way I do, but rather for multiple users on one or multiple computers.
