SGI's mac support people are all in a tizzy
over system 7's possible affect on appletalk
networks here.

I can see how heavy use of file-sharing would
increase traffic.  Are there any other legitimate
concerns?

Note that people have been using it for some
weeks now without the networks crashing &
burning as these people seem to think they will.

(I suspect that the real problem is that they
just can't be bothered to support it.  It's new
and different-- AIGH!)
