I agree with you (mostly) but still without knowing on which HD you saved
how will you be able to ex. move one HD? If for instance you saved in
"/documents/" and atleast two HDs have this as a mounting point (or is this
impossible to have at the same moment? I might have missunderstood - which
makes this entire discussion useless if that's the case <g>).

If we use the way you used to say it it would imply, atleast to me, that
the user that says so lacks a HD and has mapped C: to someone elses G:
(which is located in another computer). IIRC this was the exact way I did
it once a few years back since I vaugely recalled I had games on G (as in
Games).

Ok, I didn't get that. But yes, knowing server and volume would be much
better in most cases. Unless it's such a closed ammount of people that
everyone knows what the other means anyway.

We're getting there... (remind me and I'll explain later in a few weeks time)
