Whenever I'm after an "experience", I take my bike and ride to the mountains, very enjoyable :)Such a journey would give ample opportunity to ponder why mDNS multicasting is welcomed by so many users and whether you will embrace it when CUPS ceases to support legacy printers. :)Precisely the unsaid point of my last post.
