Speaking of Token Ring

We STILL have a token ring network in the building where I work in downtown NYC (at a Fortune 100 Company). I have a Madge 4/16 card plugged into my laptop right now.

Only if they hang it over Archie Bunker's chair!

My office ditched token ring rather recently, so there's still some spare hardware around. Most of the older PCs still have the Madge cards. Once $300, they're now worthless. Madge, BTW, went out of business a couple of years ago.

Token, token, who's got the token? (Only funny to those of us who know how frames get distributed on a TR net )

Shout-outs to my oldskool niggaz ARCNET and HPIB (still used apparently!).

Not so funny for those of us who were sent out to collect the lost tokens!
