What is workgroup computing?
The idea of a workgroup is that groups of people working together can share their resources with each other. People within the workgroup can share information on their hard disks as well as sharing printers, modems and scanners. Many programs are also designed to be used within a workgroup. For instance when using a word-processor you may use what are called templates. For instance, your organization might want to use a standard Fax header sheet. If a template for this header sheet is held on a single computer but available to all the other computers then this has the advantage that when you need to make a change to the Fax header you only have to change one file, rather than change the files on each computer!
