I can't decide which of the following two expressions is preferable:
A. You can run ingest jobs from any computer that meets requirements in
your network.
Vs.
B. You can run ingest jobs from any computer in your network that meets
requirements.
The requirements mentioned pertain to the computer, not the network.
I am leaning toward B, but I am not sure why. Thoughts?
