Hogwash!  Shawn you must be on drugs.  We have a network of two NeXTs (was three
until PUCC repossessed one 8-))  and two PCs.  The one PC is on ethernet,
the other is on a serial line to the NeXT(s).  Let's see, that makes a total
of 4 possible Independent users that can be on either of the NeXTs at one time.
Does this qualify as multi-user?

The only thing that I don't like is that I sometimes ask the shell to 
display a PostScript file while rlogin'd to the other machine.  That results
in the process quietly dying, and fews utterances and then trying it again
on the proper machine.  NFS is a wonderful thing!
