i did not know cisco made arcnet at all, but money will make anything :)

i did know the last one, but not the other 2 of them, i follow them now,
mostly so i can see if thay change to a1, its kind of nokia and java :)

a simple linux computer can do all the same in hardware software by installing

on the road to cheaper software and more stable its not bad, hopefully M$ take
