Well, you can easily network ten year old IBM PC/XT with a brand new Pentium
machine and share files... Yes I realize it's not exactly the same thing,
but IBM PC based machines are still pretty much compatible. Naturally
you can't run Windows programs in a 8088 machine, but neither can you
run System 7 in your //e.

Now, I have nothing against Apple (I have a //c myself), they make good
computers. I just wanted to remind you that there are other ways to do
almost the same thing...
