Individual or team player, which are you?

Sitting here watching the third overtime period of the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers NHL playoff game and thought it was a good question to ask.

There is really nothing wrong either way. I consider myself a team player.

Found a review to highlight, that is kind of about being a teamplayer or sharing at least.

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

While it’s improved a lot recently, in the past setting up a multi-seat computer has been a pain in the ass with a lot of manual configurations needed and other peculiar steps to get the hardware/software combination working right. What if the process were a lot simpler? What if new seats could be added to a computer at a very low cost and the setup was effectively “out of the box” to the point that it’s truly plug-and-play?
