And I can find web sites that claim Elvis is alive and aliens live in comet 
tails. Doesn't make them 'true'.

The issue isn't whether one can make an esoteric case that, under special 
circumstances, Netbeui, in the cases where it can actually work and not 
fall flat on it's ass, might be 'more efficient' than TCP/IP, assuming one 
has a good enough network analyzer to measure it. It's whether that 
insignificance is worth double supporting protocols when the newer, more 
capable, one is perfectly fine at handling all cases and not just a select few.

And it isn't.
