+    <h3><a name="everyday_samba">Testimonials: Samba for Everyday Use</a></h3> 
+        
+    <div class="article">
+    <p>Samba, being the network tool that it is, is most often spoken of in the 
+    context of an enterprise environment.  However, lots of people find Samba handy 
+    in everyday use, like sharing files or printers 
+    <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5837">with a spouse</a> on a home 
+    network, or using Samba to power a 
+    <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/ipodtuneshks/chapter/hack31.pdf">Linux music server</a>.
+    Several people have written us here at news.samba.org to share similar stories
+    of the usefulness of Samba in all sorts of work.</p>
+
+    <p>Vinicius Kamakura writes about how Samba helps him overcome being tied 
+    to a Windows application in his line of web development:</p>
+
+    <blockquote>
+    I've samba-shared Apache's document root on my Linux box so I can access it 
+    directly from my code editor in Windows; it speeds up my work so much, since 
+    I'm able to edit the live source files!  Can't imagine my life without it.
+    </blockquote>
+
+    <p>Patrick Blake told us of the role his Samba server plays while he's gaming:</p>
+
+    <blockquote>
+    Over the past 3 years, I learned how during lan parties I could quickly
+    swap, configure, and setup an impressive amount of quick serving shares
+    over a number of network devices. 
+    </blockquote>
+
+    <p>Samba not only enables better game play, but Patrick concludes, "now Samba
+    helps protect my network."  Certainly, Samba offers lots of safe and reliable 
+    possibilities, even when dealing with gaming, music, websites, and home networks.</p>
