    The number of times I had to ask “how can I tell where the file ‘physically’” (I know) “lives” on the network when I took up work at a Windows shop, it was just baffling. And Win people couldn’t understand what I was asking.

    There’s a location for this effing thing. I want to know where it is, really! How do I get that info?!

      It’s not Win people. It is dumb people.

      Any Infrastructure IT guy can tell you where specific files are stored, it is their job. Whether they mainly use Windows, Mac or Linux doesn’t matter.

      Physically, it’s probably on your hdd or ssd. Or possibly just in ram or a data center somewhere 😜
