Sean,
You are trying too hard... so hard that it shows.
The categories, Client, Server, Networking, etc. are very broad groupings. They cover things that tend to fall into those groupings, (in other words, things that tend to reside on the client, that tend to be server orieented, etc.)
Is the abv suppposed to explain the ridiculous "survey" results? Or are those seriously YOUR views on Client/Server/Networking categories definition?
So, for example, the backup product is one geared for backing up a server. The printer, (The Lexmark Optra Lxi+), is heavily geared towards large workgroups. A Jaz drive tends to reside on the desktop. But, none of these categories are absolute. You could certainly drop a Jaz on your server, for instance.
So a server backup product is then categorized in the SERVER category? A network printer in the NETWORK and a Jaz on the desktop a CLIENT?
Try another explanation... I seriously doubt you believe that for even a second yourself.
So what's your view? Don't you think that that categories are totally illogical, based on your experience?
