Assuming you can network between computers on the LAN, I'm wondering if maybe a script could be written that would change the read/write on A computer when you are wanting read/write on B computer? I'm not a scripter, never tried Automator and I'm wondering if the app that Bruce posted earlier this week (and another lister's BF wrote for WoW use) could be used to put a GUI to the script?
