So he was partially right (as he was refering to 10baseT but only to the hub
it matters and not PC to hub to PC. SO in other words you could run 2 PCs on
a hub with a TOTAL length of 200 meters, 100 from PC to hub and another 100
from PC to hub, right?
This makes alot more sense otherwise the worlds networks would be bl&#dy
damn small..

You were told wrong.
The maximum cable length is dependant on media type - 100 metres for
10BaseT, 185 metres for 10Base2, 500 metres for 10Base5
For 10Base2 and 10Base5, these lengths _include_ any taps or runs to
connect nodes, because they are a bus type system. for 10BaseT, this
length refers to the distance between any one node and its repeater/hub,
or between ahy two cascaded hubs.
