- Actually it is VERY flaky on SMALL networks. (Read: one Mac, one NeXT).
- The NeXT can mount the Mac fine, and read from it, but it HANGS TIGHTLY the

- that, but when I restart the NeXT it ALWAYS does a Check Disk at restart.
- (Which always turns my stomach.)

- I just saw the latest propaganda video from NeXT yesterday.. In it Jobs says
- that they worked directly with Novell to integrate that networking sw into
- NS3.0, but they implemented AppleShare AFP protocols BY THEMSELVES... It shows.
