I'm not interested in that, either.  Look, some idiot "consultant" recently sold an office manager nearby a "bill of goods" where he told them
they had to dump their Mac's in order to use a LAN that's connecting a bunch of Windows PCs attached to a DSL router.  Why?  I dunno.  Last
time I checked, there's no problem having Mac's talk to TCP/IP on 10Base-T lines that also connect to PCs.  I figure he's just got one of
those Microsoft "certifications" and he can't think outside the brown paper bag they stuck over his head when he got certified.
