December 2nd! A revolutionary early networking technology - LocalTalk and PhoneNet. Just add a few files to your system folder, attach these dongles, then share printers and files. Made no-hard-drive Macs eminently more useful right out of the box.
Hard to believe these were originally $39.95+ each (and almost double that for the Apple ones!), for some plastic, tiny wire, and a resistor. Cheaper than your own HD or printer tho!
