32 macs on serial wire,
looking for a decent net to hire.

19.2K Baud with 8 K byte through
On Sytek nets the data flew

Six hundred Students rarin to go
hand in their assignments to Unix ya know

* * *

In semesters previous the process complex
did hinder the neophytes and cause them much vex

Create Stuffit archive instructions did say
What is an archive they responded that day

Convert it to binhex was the second command
Why not send binary? was the obvious demand.

Upload using kermit was step number three
The students were angry and rightfully

mail TA < file was the final edict
The majority forgot; got the verdict?

* * *

"We want FINDER COPY!" the TAs did say
Just point click and move the macintosh way

A brand new volume mounted from the net
will look like a disk without any fret

Poor Appleshare just can't get us there
It has no serial, just 'talk and etherial

TOPS is a loser; it flops like a bruiser
has no serial way to do what we say

But what about JANET we ask with a plea?
Will it answer our prayers and fill us with glee?

Is uSHARE better?  Will it do what we need?
Or should we give up, let the nets recede?

I need your advice; I need it rapidly
Please answer my questions; I'll post a summary

I don't read this group I'm sorry to say
so please send E-mail in the usual way.

I'd like to buy the software, buy it this week
Please send a reply; it's e-mail I seek.
