-------------------------------------------
(very paraphrased)
IBM announced plans for implementing an Office Network within the next
two or three years. IBM's announcement was little more than a reminder
that they (IBM) haven't forgotten the importance of such a facility.
The only technical information available was that people building new
office buildings should lay down twisted copper pair wire in prep-
aration for the new LAN. IBM's delay in getting a LAN out sooner will,
more than likely, benefit many of its competitors such as Xerox, Wang,
DEC, and 3Com.
