Noun
/ˈæp.əl.tɔːk/
AppleTalk is a networking protocol suite developed by Apple Inc. designed for connecting Macintosh computers over local area networks (LANs). It allows for network communication, file sharing, and printer access among Macintosh devices, which was particularly relevant in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Over time, the use of AppleTalk has diminished with the advent of more universal networking protocols like TCP/IP.
AppleTalk is less commonly mentioned in modern contexts, predominantly appearing in historical discussions about networking protocols rather than contemporary usage. Its relevance is found mainly in written texts related to technology history.
AppleTalk is primarily found in technical or historical discussions in written form, with sporadic mentions in oral communication among specialists in network engineering and older technology.
