I'm sure there are some dinosaur geeks still willing to argue the
superiority of Token Ring networking and with their homes or workplaces
still running a TR network at 4-16mbs.

As it happens, I have a couple of 3Com 3C389 PCMCIA TR adapters still in
their sealed boxes. Another 50 years or so and those will probably be
worth something to a museum of networking or something. :>)
