Default Which computer to install Bentley On

While on vacation I picked up the Bentley manual. My only problem is should I install it on my computer (upstair) or install it on the ****ty computer in the garage (next to my car). Hard choice. They are networked and I can view my upstaris pc downstairs.

Default I find it easiest to print out the bentley manual when I'm working on the car...

so in this case, whichever computer is closer to the printer..

Default Sounds like a no-brainer...

If you can view the upstairs PC from downstairs, load it on the upstairs one. That way you have access to it from both.

If you can view either computer from the other, I'd still put it on the upstairs one since it's faster...

Default Go with the upstairs one

so you can get stuff quickly up there but still look at it while you're doing work downstairs

Load it on the voice controlled computer in the garage with the wall screen.
