	Ah, a "real network".  It came up a while ago that we don't have an
AppleTalk network here.  Of course we do, I protested, we've got wire
running to every single Mac in the building, a FastPath gateway to the
ethernet, Mac people use telnet, read mail using POP and send it using SMTP,
share laser printers, send files back and forth using ftp and PublicFolder,
chat with each other using Broadcast, etc, etc.  Turns out that the only
network service that we don't run is an AppleTalk file server.  Apparantly,
in this person's mind, network meant file-server, and that's it.
