Hi Randy, if I understand you correctly, I would rule out #5 from an  
user experience perspective just because it will be really hard to  
explain that to the user. Also, given that sharing is the only way to  
get your data from one machine to another, many users will have all  
of their collections on the server, even if just to share with  
themselves.
