Before the "dawn" of Win95 EVERYTHING was easier on a mac, especially
networking.  Easier translatated to less work and better overall
productivity for both the IT staff and users.  It just worked.   There
were no 8.3 file name limits, you didn't have to come up with criptic
names for network or printer shares, and you didn't have to assign
letters to network drives.  

 

With PCs you had to do all kinds of weird stuff just to make them work
together.  Do any of you remember NDIS drivers and getting them to work?
Do you remember how to load the "middleware" that actually let you
connect to a network server?  Remember BANYAN VINES, LANMAN, PATHWORKS,
and NETWARE?  Those were the days that an IT guy earned his/her stripes.
Take me back....please....take me back....

 

(By the way, I appologize ahead of time for any misspelled words.  I
still can't get the Office 2007 spell checker to work.)
