I just saw this on Macintouch and I couldn't believe it. I understand
that Apple has no plans to support non-apple/non-G3 machines with OS 8.5
(specifically the networking) or OS X. What am I supposed to do with the
$200,000+ worth of (_mostly_ Apple) equipment this company has pieced
together?
Not that I will ever miss the day when AppleTalk is but a topic of humor
at the local user group meeting...
Sorry for the off topic nature of this post,
