Informal Poll: Imagine yourself interested in networking more than one Amiga together or connecting yourself to any existing network. To do this you have to get some kind of hardware, what kind is not important. If you could have equal speed and flexibility would you rather have it eat your parallel port, be a slap on the side, or go in an expansion chassis? Some things to mention: parallel port is not a limitation to the network in speed or distance. networking would be inexpensive (Significantly under $500) network would allow file sharing, Email, etc... Don't just think about yourself, think about your friends and neighbors. Do people in network situations need their parallel ports? Sure people need parallel ports, for audio digitizers and printers, but are these the same people who need networking? Just anticipating Matt's networking device and other solutions for people over greater distances...
