How old are all you people?
My first experience with the ARPAnet was either 1977 or 1978 when someone got me an ITS account at MIT (BARRYS@AI), I was working at Harvard. Tho I didn't really have much use for the net other than joining some mailing lists I'd play with it. It was astounding to me. With a few keystrokes I could get to a login prompt at Stanford or in London etc. I was on the night the pentagon shut it down briefly (several broadcast messages messing up my screen, I thought it was a prank, then dead) because some students had just taken some US hostages in Tehran. It wasn't on the news yet. They (pentagon) were testing their ability to take it all under their control for some reason tho I think the word "war" was on their minds. That was 1979-11-04. So, pretty old. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
