They're described as a "Token Ring Remote Network Switch (RNS)", but then what

What is the meaning of all this?

SmallTalk raped by C++ which is expected to solve all problems of the world,
including traffic, pollution and AIDS) started, it's creators decided to use
the term ``Java'' in it's name, too.
