- You may very well think it's brainless, but with little network experience
- I've set up a very workable network consisting of a wide variety of micros
- and a NeXT (and the Amiga does support Appletalk via 3rd parties). The real
- world is not the Internet. It often consists of hospitals, schools, etc...that
- can benefit a great deal from the ease of setup of the type of network I am
- talking about. Given that all kinds of resources are being shared
- seamlessly, and that TCP/IP based networks are very difficult to maintain
- without some very capable administration, I would strongly suggest that you
- are the one not in touch with what's out there.
