- More accurately, it is very flaky on networks that are not 100%
- EtherTalk Phase II. If you have any machines running Phase I, you
- are bound to have problems.

- IPT, the uShare people, claim that they developed the client
- AppleShare software. (I guess Jobs means 'without Apple's help' if
- that's what he says, I just got my 3.0 video yesterday and haven't

- products, the fact that it's flaky doesn't surprise me much. But, I
- have heard that the AppleTalk stuff does really 'just work' if you
- are running 100% EtherTalk Phase II.
