Hey, lighten up, Rick!  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."
