Summary:Swapper...


	I was reading the other day (although I don't know where...) that 
apple was developing a `tower' like machine that would sit in a closet and the
computation-intensive applications would transparently swap data between 
the tower and the personal mac. This would be a very nice solution, letting 
your personal mac do the screen output while the 33mhz tower does the computat
ion for your huge spreadsheets or whatever.... My only questions would be:
	How transparent is any data swapping over appletalk? Its just not that
fast!! My guess is that there is going to be a new networking system or else
built in ethernetting (yea!). Now ofcourse this may be a little ways in the
future...
