Share and Share Alike
One of the features of Windows is the ability to share printers (and folders). But you know, most people aren't aware of this functionality and only find out about it when they accidently print something to someone else's printer or vice versa. So I was not surprised this morning when someone asked me how was it that a document they did not print ended up coming out of their printer (as if by magic).
I guess it was a good opportunity to explain networks and, in the instance of sharing folders, security and how it's possible for people to read what you have on your computer. But I really wish MS would not install the printer and sharing protocols by default.
Have a Great Weekend, Everyone - Aloha!
