Berkeley TCP socket interface for the Apple IIgs

Scott C. Linnenbringer writes "In case you wanted to do something cool with your fancy little Apple IIgs in the back room, you can use GS/TCP to implement a standard BSD socket interface, allowing you to connect via SLIP, MacIP, and soon PPP on a GNO/ME (GNO Multitasking Environment) UNIX system for the IIgs, now completely abandoned, open-sourced and labeled freeware. GS/TCP also comes with ftp and inetd, built with ORCA/C directly from BSDi sources (hacked, of course,) and a text web browser for GNO/ME can be found at the website."

Sorry, but I have no idea what any of that means. Either I'm loosing my touch with IT issue, or there is another level of extreme geekdom that I have never before encountered. Is this kind of stuff relevant in today's IT industry, or is it mealy the electronic masturbation of the great un-shaved?

It's Dying

Apple IIgs is dying!

Why oh why!? (People! agree with me here!)

This is so lame. Why oh why do people spend countless hours performing stupid mundane projects just so they can get praise from their super-geeky friends?

This is so sad. I for one am sick and tired of Slashdot posting stupid-a$$ articles about projects NOBODY cares about except for maybe 30 year old virgin adults with 3" thick glasses that live in their parents basement still.

Oh wait! I take it all back! I forgot CmdrTaco was in this group!!! :-P
