Arggh. Dredges up too many memories. Baluns. Hermaphroditic connectors (Yes, I said that, and yes, that's what it means, and yes, that shouldn't be against the rules to say, because IBM built a million of them). MAUs. Madge.

Soo much money spent. Soo much time. Early Ethernet no better. Vampire taps. T connectors, terminators... dipswitchs on ARCnet boards with $100 glorified TV coax splitters...

Great, I didn't feel old until this.
