I'll just pierce this thicknet and add a transceiver here...that's pretty good security.

I wonder if this ever was a security breach? Not saying it wasn't. just wondering if anyone has a real world example of such.

My problem with thick ethernet was that unless you got the angle of the cable exactly right, the cable's inflexibility would lift the workstation you were connecting off the desk. at least thin didn't (mostly) have this problem.

Huh? You were connecting thicknet (10BASE5) directly to the back of workstations??
