APPLEVISION Monitor

We'd best just agree to disagree about Apple Computer Co product quality. My position is based on what I saw in '81-'82 with then ][ and ][+, where 10 complete data losses per hour were the rule rather than the exception. I remember watching a client's hired hand reboot and retype six times in the course of a single phone call (on the customer's dime, so that wasn't good either) culminating in the loss of the customer, not to mention the loss of the order. It may not be that bad any longer, but I'm operating on the "once-bitten-twice-shy" principle. At that time, my partner and I were in the retail business, and wherever we saw an Apple, we made a sale, no exceptions. My experience with the MACs was limited to what was then "leading edge" implementations, which often led to trouble. I imagine the problems were resolved, but I didn't get to see that. Consequently, the bad taste lingers. I am quite impressed with the seamlessness of the integration of the MAC stuff, but since it's all from Apple, you'd expect nothing less. One thing that I've wondered is how one gets an old MAC to talk on the Ethernet when it's a mixed environment with Netware and Windows NT servers. I know Netware has a provision for MAC namespace, but I've only seen one ethernet-capable MAC, which leaves me wondering how folks who use MACs install an ethernet interface. What do you know about that?
