I was reading the other day (although I don't know where...) that apple was developing a `tower' like machine that would sit in a closet and the computation-intensive applications would transparently swap data between the tower and the personal mac. This would be a very nice solution, letting your personal mac do the screen output while the 33mhz tower does the computat ion for your huge spreadsheets or whatever.... My only questions would be: How transparent is any data swapping over appletalk? Its just not that fast!! My guess is that there is going to be a new networking system or else built in ethernetting (yea!). Now ofcourse this may be a little ways in the future... Dave !tektronix!reed!lclark!reeck
