Hi Drew,

Here's another idea.  Let's assume that you have a central
web server.  And let's assume that the web server files will
NEVER be modified on the web server; that is, they're 
effectively read-only.  These files are served by IIS, and
also shared (just to you) with a share.

Your sandbox(es) would be on your desk machine.  When you
want to test your changes, you could copy your files to
your share on the development server.

You can then point a browser at the dev server.  Using
copy is ok because you never want to pull source from the
server back to your machine - it's one way.  And because
you're using copy, you don't have to commit things into
CVS until your changes have been tested.

Regards,

Mitch.
