Mary, On this forum there are a lot of technical people. You are obviously not one. You need a memory refresher, your mixing up the early 70's with the early '80's. Novel, 3com and most minicomputer companies did not exist in 1970 thru 1972 (when the documents were supposedly printed). 3com was founded in 1979. Novell was founded in 1983. Ethernet Lan's were invented on paper in 1973, but did not exist in the lab until 1976 and were not commercially available until the early 1980's. During the early '70's there were some electronic typesetting machines. They were used by publishers and cost millions. John
