TCP/IPはなぜ「初期のPC」にとって重すぎたのか？〜インターネットの王者が昔嫌われた理由〜｜kzn
LANに関する話題も、LAN Manager (NetBEUI)、NetWare (IPX/SPX)、そしてAppleTalkと進んできましたが、いよいよ大トリの TCP/IP です。 ネットワークの歴史：プラグ＆プレイの先駆者「AppleTalk」と名前解決の仕組み

1991年に未来にいたかもしれない。 当時、ユーピーユー（UPU）というベンチャー企業にいた。 1991年といえば、世間はまだワープロかPC-98を使い、フロッピーディスクやMOを手で渡していた時代。インターネットはもちろん普及してない。 しかしこの会社は、「AIジャーナル」という人工知能の専門誌を1980年代に発行してたこともあり、当時としては変わった情報環境を作っていた。 たとえば全社員にMacintoshを配り、社内LAN（AppleTalk）を張り巡らせてそれらはネットワークで繋がっていたのだ。当時は一人一台パソコンどころかチームで一台のワープロの時代だ。 私はこの未来感

BTW, I was a developer on practically all of the pre-Mac machines (IIe on my own and IIgs professionally) through the 128K Mac and pre-release Mac II to the last of that series, plus DECnet on Mac and Appletalk on UNIX. I'm no stranger to them. Neither love nor hate, just realism.

You know when ip (V4) came about, people using NetBIOS, appletalk, NetWare etc. complained about V4 requiring them to type in lots of numbers instead of just referring to BobsComputer by name. The correct response was "DNS" then, as is now with V6.
