LOL, maybe we will see a rebirth of Token Ring or IPX/SPX! The irony there is both technologies were sound they just lost the marketing wars due to the strong emergence of Microsoft and Windows at the time which really only supported ethernet and IP. Although for a time Windows NT partially supported being on a Novell IPX network. Fun times!
