Time to pick up that age-old flamewar? An Ethernet-enabled Atari port of the Contiki operating system has already been completed, and brings the Atari users telnet, e-mail, a web server and a web browser. Pictures and schematics for the Ethernet card, as well as screenshots of the system in action on an Atari 800 are available from the project's webpage."

Now what's the use of that?Could the dark brain matter which was wasted on this (cough cough ) technolical feat have been not used for some other purpose? Those guys will end up adding Ethernet interface to IBM 360s and Univacs!!!
