It provided internetworking of PCs, minis, mainframes and other computer resources providing information sharing across organizations of unlimited size.

| They loved to sit there in the silence, with only each other and the sheeny, prying lizards for company, talking of the old times and planning for the new; while light breezes stirred the tattered vines high up among the columns, where owls nested. The ground was cluttered with vines and bushes, and the trees grew close and spread out like bouquets. To and fro I paced before this skeleton --brushed the vines aside --broke through the ribs --and with a ball of Arsacidean twine, wandered, eddied long amid its many winding, shaded collonades and arbors. |
