Not quite.
Rhapsody as it stands now is Appleified NextStep. MacOX X is that whole
"Carbon" based thingamabob that's a hybred of the best of OS 8 and
NextStep/Rhapsody.
In any event for Apple to *NOT* put AppleTalk support in would just be
weird. Think of it like Apple not putting AppleTalk support into OS
8.5. Better still, think of porting Netatalk to MacOS X/Rhapsody as
porting Netatalk to today's Mac OS 8.
