Networks are good for all kinds of things; just what needs do you have for
a network of two machines with different operating systems? You addressed
moving files between Mac & DOS environments yourself, and you mention you
have Appletalk on the AT. The Mac system 7 operating system will allow
your Mac to look like a file server to the AT over Appletalk; perhaps
you're missing only an update to the Appletalk software on your AT?

You might look into Tops or Lantastic software. These programs will both
work with Macs and IBMs.

Subject: Icelandic Sagas on Film
Very likely this is reference predates the films Anthony Aristar has been told
about, but here it is anyway. In 1969 or '70, I and a couple of fellow
graduate students in medieval studies saw a film called "Hagbard and Signe",
which was made in Iceland and was a representation of a saga (my field was
Latin so I have no idea if the movie's title is the same as the saga's). I
also have no idea whether it was in the original language of the saga; I can't
even remember if the version we saw was dubbed or had English subtitles (this
was over 20 years ago, after all)! Indeed my best memory is of the audience:
the movie was shown in a theatre that specialized in pornography; apparently
because it was Scandinavian the manager had thought it was a skin flick. We
were definitely the only people there who had come to see a saga, and before
long we were the only people there at all!
