Abstract
While the application of scaling ideas to the behaviour of non-interacting electrons in disordered systems has provided some notable successes, especially in 2-dimensions, it has also thrown up some new questions and failed to provide consistent answers to others. Using mainly numerical data the, wide range of applicability of the scaling concept will be demonstrated, as well as its limitations.
