And your point is?

Wasted on you.

No, it's a non sequitur. There was NOT ONE PERTINENT THING IN THAT LINK to this topic. You wasted bandwidth and my time, as well as everyone else's who bothered to link to it due to your rational Apple delusions. Thanks for playing. If you have a point, make it, don't post obscure metaphorical articles that list five events in Steve Jobs' life that did not prove what you claimed and in fact have NOTHING to do with what you claimed. I challenged you to provide EVIDENCE of Steve Jobs' choosing to not develop networking for the Mac that could connect to IBM mainframes. You have NOT been forthcoming. I am forced to conclude you don't have anything to back up your story.

If he wanted to develop that networking back in the early '80s then we'd have seen Apple making 3270 coax adapters and SDLC adapters, and the terminal emulation software to go with them. Deciding to support Token Ring 5 years later was closing the barn door after the horses are gone.
