No, I'm not trolling. 10baseT is an absolute fucking disaster from an infrastructure POV. Alexander graham bell would probably be shocked by the rats nest of wiring it creates never mind those of us who worked with other systems that just required a single wire going around the room. There's is nothing wrong with daisy chain style networking so long as a machine can be automatically bypassed if its not working and with modern protocols the speed could still be kept suitably high enough for 99% of office scenarios.
