- I sent this in as a bug_report early on (I think I sent on a lot of
- bug_reports for the Ethertalk and NetWare clients), and nothing ever
- came back from NeXT. I think Redwood City thinks this one is a
- feature.
-
- I don't think that the NetWare and Ethertalk clients have extremely
- high priority at NeXT. I think they were almost thrown in just to
- ensnare future big accounts.
-
- Sure, they work pretty well, but they don't work nearly as well as you
- would expect something from NeXT to work (and they eat CPU BIGTIME!).
