Imagine a small business with some 30-40 employees. There is a piece of paper
near the door at the office so that everyone sees it when entering or leaving,
which says:

"Dear employees,

Please keep in mind that on the fileserver '\\DepartmentC', in the directory
'\PublicStorage7' the free space you see as being available needs to be divided
by two; On the server '\\DepartmentD', in '\StorageArchive' and '\VideoFiles',
multiplied by two-thirds. For more details please contact the IT operations
team. Further assistance will be provided at the monthly training seminar.

Regards,
John S, CTO.'
