It's also like going to the bank, getting some greenbacks, going to the
local grocery store, buying with those notes, and the grocery owner going to
the bank, and changing back into NZ$. And both parties have costs of doing
that. (bank commission, etc)
It's not a perfect analogy, but seriously, why use a Windows file sharing
protocol, when not using windows?
