True but this doesn't make much of a difference -- upon connecting to any
file services on the "new" machine (read: first-use machine by the given
user), they would have to make the appropriate connections anyways.  For
protected shares, they'd have to enter a password.  For non-protected
(public) shares, they wouldn't.  This information would then be recorded
in the Win95 PWL file.

Doesn't matter whether they use "johnsob" or "Brenda Johnston" in this
case -- either will work, it is user-choice.  But 'security = user'
doesn't.  :-)
