Taking AppleTalk on the road: a mobile GlobalTalk retrospective

Earlier this year I had lots of fun participating in GlobalTalk, a fun collaborative experiment where a bunch of folks interconnected their home AppleTalk networks into one global network that allowed their classic Macs and other devices to communicate across vast distances. While AppleTalk is normally tied to a physical location (contemporary uses were usually limited to offices or schools), I was eager to experiment with using it on the go.
