My old Brother laser printer is on the GlobalTalk network pretending to be a LaserWriter. But what the heck is "BrotherDraw"? My search-fu is failing to find that phrase, either online or in printed manuals. Is it the print server?
Cool, I didn't realize that being on #GlobalTalk meant you'd get The Onion sent straight to your ImageWriter!

This time round I’ve hacked a phone cable in half and soldered alligator clips to the other sides so we get a decent connection to the fence.

It’s a nice day. Work is in a hurry-up-and-wait phase. Let’s try getting AppleTalk running over barbed wire again!
