Okay.  I'll ask it.  Is Client-Server going down the tubes in
favor of peer-to-peer?

Are networks like Novell, Banyan, etc. that rely on the logical
star of client-server a thing of the past now that Unix and
Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT are on the
horizon?

It would seem that business is more suited to a peer-to-peer
environment, although IS typically isn't.  How do we IS'ers
maintain our role (or any role) as the business units start to
welcome the new peer philosophy?  Especially if they embrace
Microsoft's solutions, which will mean they can support and
develop with minimal man-hours and without IS?

Looking for input...
