Because there isn't a "the" share. There's a multiplicity of accounts,
which W98 can't handle, without doing some horrendously complicated
mapping.

And the W98 machine isn't "he" server. It's "a" server. It works as a
server for certain purposes, mainly to do with simplifying access to
data.

It's simplicity I'm after,
