I'm sure that by the time THIS message gets to the net, the question'll have
been answered thousands of times... but c'est la vie.  :)

As far as I know, System 5.0 adds one (1) new FST -- an APPLESHARE.FST.  This
allows a system that's hooked up to an AppleTalk network to treat the file
server (a Mac of some sort, hooked to a zillion-meg :) hard drive) JUST AS
ANOTHER DISK DRIVE.  Double-click on the server's icon in the Finder,
double-click on the file you want to run, and you're off... all through the
network.  This is the way it SHOULD be, and I'm sure schools and businesses
(ARE there any businesses using GS'es?!) will find this useful...   Of course,
to the majority of us who can't AFFORD buying a Mac and using it as a big disk
drive, it won't be so significant.

System 5.0 looks terrific to me, too... can't WAIT to get it on this here
system!!  :)

And HOPEFULLY this MAJOR System Disk upgrade, combined with last month's AII
Video Overlay Card release, will silence the death-of-the-Apple-II discussions.

See y'all...
