- samatman 4y agoI nearly posted 1810 myself. As for 927, I hope Randall gets around to the other side of the picture someday, because I remember Novell, Token-Ring, Banyan Vine, Fido, and around a dozen more ways of shlepping data around, which have been utterly eclipsed by IP and Ethernet. Matrix is good enough to capture the network effects and provide the consolidation pressure the field badly needs.
