I dunno  if you're still "in need" but if it is for a less-knowledged user,
why not make it an analogy?  i.e., Use a restaurant..The server is a
kitchen, the nodes (workstations) are the tables, and the pathways
(net-lines) are the waiting people  <pc?> :)  Sorry I couldn'thelp it.
OK, this is a llittle too "simple" but if it is being aimed at the LK users,
then it'll have to be effectively simple to keep your client happy.

Yes these are my own thoughts and/or opinions.. Why the hell do I need to have
this disclaimer anyways?!?!?!?!  It's my opinion and everyone's entitled to it.
If you don't like it, then don't read it! My employer backs me up on this as
I am one and the same person.
