I don't see that it is necessary to add Broadcast-type features to
AppleShare, since the ability to do such work is not dependent on the
existence of AppleShare. Using normal AppleTalk calls, you can develop
a decent system. What advantages would AppleShare add to this
setup? (Or to use a cliche, what does AppleShare bring to the party?)
Someone should write an APPLICATION somewhat like Backgrounder that just
sits and waits for incoming messages. When a message does come, the
Notification Manager should be used to notify the user that a message
is waiting. They should then have to switch to that application to
read the message (or to send a message). This prevents "rude interruptions"
of the current foreground application.
Any other opinions?
