I remember the days when our documentation department said they could only use Apple to do page layouts. They were on a separate network that couldn’t talk to any other machine.

Apple made their bed back in the day when IBM was working to get PC's talking to IBM mainframes and other enterprise networks, and Jobs declared that any such integration would be considered heresy in the Apple ecosystem.

Please show me the documentation for you assertion. Apple was using TCP/IP stacks and addressing back as part of the Mac in the 80s. Apple talk had adapters for Ethernet 10 that worked quite well. I've still got some of them in a box out in my garage. Where is this Jobs' declaration?
