Thanks to all for chiming in.

One thing I'm still not clear on: if I set 2 computers as "main" with both having installations of SQL Server, but only use one of them as the main machine and have the other work as a client only (as Wendell suggested). How would the secondary machine go the SQL server on the main machine and not use its own? How would a full installation of AC function as a client?

Also, regarding internet access, anyone has input regarding Clear Internet? they say they are faster than 3 G. And, technically, I don't need internet to run AC, right?

Thanks
