-
- In response to the question on using PCs or terminals or a combination of
- them on a LAN, we chose to use only PCs so that users could download their
- searches. We wanted to minimize the use of printers which are wearing out
- fast. We encourage downloading of large searches but users still print
- out huge amounts, particularly from full-text databases like NTDB.
-
- I'd always go with the ability to download if possible here though
- your situation may be different.
