I have spent many evenings working in a cluster next to several "Net Trekkers" whose behavior (and odor) was most foul. Such a port would defile the NeXT. On a side node: many of the mice on our DEC Stations here at CMU suffer from what is called "NetTrek Syndrome". Because of the frequent repetitive mouse clicking involved in the game, some mice develop hyper-sensitive or insensitive buttons. Also, the game has become such a nuisance here that it is banned in almost every cluster on the campus. - David.
