[muglo] Re: AppleShare + OS X (Jaguar) = now WORKS!!!

Eric:

I agree, but credit where credit due. Jaguar does a much better job of
connectivity and network management then any OS I¹ve used to date.... It¹s
easier than Unix and finds all my Windows PCs back to a 3.11 dinosaur as
well as ?98, 2000 and XP machines and my aged Mac running 8.6. And while
indeed all are guilty of forced upgrades, it¹s still too true that the are
more for free on the Windows side of the ledger.... Pity!
