You're not the only one at Apple who is confused. Perhaps you should send a copy of the ad on pages 12-13 of the Dec. 7 issue of Computerworld to the source of your "memo from on high". "... the Macintosh network is here and now. It's called AppleTalk.(R) "AppleTalk is a networking protocol ..." - from Apple ad mentioned above The ad was titled "MIS manager buys Macintosh, keeps job." -- Howard A.
