Digital BW, The Print

I'm upgrading from a Windows 98 machine to an XP machine in order to 
use the new PS. My question is whether there would any advantages to 
the digital workflow to keep the old computer and create a two-
computer network?

Would the printer (1280) be connected to the new computer, the old 
one, or a print server (whatever that is).

I would appreciate any thoughts on the issue.

Probably no workflow advantage--unless you had an assistant.

However, if you can put the two machines in different areas, and put an
extra disk in each, then you can back up each machine to the other, using
something like SecondCopy. That way, if half the building burns down...

Evan,

I would keep the old computer just for storing images on, and perhaps doing
your emails and wordprocessing. Connect your printer to your new one with
CS. I have two (both with XP Pro) and a simple Firewire connection is all I
need to network them and share files, disks, and CD drives etc.
