Was DIX really the original Ethernet? Wasn't that 10 Mbps and all?

LUXNET or ABCNET for Luxor machines?

I mentioned Amigalink yesterday, but there is another Amigalink which uses
10b2 cabling on a bus with transceivers which connect to the Amiga diskdrive
port. More info is available at http://www.amitrix.com/.

"LART is an acronym for Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool, and is generally a
piece of heavy hard material such as a cricket or baseball bat, hunk of pipe,
or 2x4 for the fine tuning of a luser's atitude. This is a noun that can be
used as a verb. If I say I lart someone, I mean that I am performing delicate
tuning procedures upon that persons head utilizing a  LART. An ICBM would be
considered an agressive LART."
