So should I just go hide in the corner for the rest of the hour? ;) Seriously, to me an unnetworked computer is a useless computer. That's one reason why I play with LEMs and not LEPCs. To my knowledge, there's nobody who plays with LEPCs like we play with LEMs. My 1986-vintage Plusses are just as useful today (moreso even) than they were on the day they were introduced. I just need to remember that others might not have the luxury of having 100% of their computers networked, with filesharing to every machine. :) (Yes, my NeXT can do EtherTalk.) Speaking of the NeXT, I've actually been giving my time to machines other than Macs lately -- well, sort of. My NeXT has received most of my time (can now send & receive mail), and I'm in search of a LowerEM on which to run OS X Server v1.2 (Rhapsody). I might end up unsubscribing for a while, if only to lower my email volume. :( Eagle -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
