Was not I, for I have yet to run a network with AppleTalk on it.. though, I
did some sniffing on a contract, with 8 G4's on site, as well as about 45
WinNT4 machines.. and let me tell you, for a dotcom, there was a LOT of
useless NetBIOS traffic going on.. and very negligible amount of native
AppleTalk traffic. Actually considering buying a G4 Cube for a toy :)

And who said AppleTalk was chatty? Someone who had never used a Sniffer to
watch a PC running NetBIOS for Microsoft networking. &;-)
