Never being satisfied with the status quo, I've decided to re-arrange
our Mac lab. It has 60 Macs and 8 ImageWriters, and a couple of
servers, (well, 3). 

Currently the 8 IWs are split amongst the 3 server groups, this is
just due to their physical locations. But the thought occurred to
me that if I LocalTalk all the macs together, all 8 IWs could be
put at the end of the chain, so that any mac could print to any
IW. 

This should work, shouldn't it? Will there be any performance
penalty for those IWs at the end of the chain?
