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? Back in the 80s IBM mainframes used Token Ring local area networks. Terminals were 3270, over SNA or SDLC. If you wanted to talk to them, you made adapters for those protocols.

Apple was capable of using Token Ring protocols as well. There were adaptors for those as well. However, they were not as common.
