Greetings Dave,

I enjoyed watching your talk at NSF yesterday. Networking has changed a lot
over the past 30 or so years and as you projected will continue to do so in
the future. I recall a comment made by a University of Michigan faculty
member in the early 1970's shortly after Merit had our first three node
network in operation among UM, MSU and WSU. He observed that since it was
in place there really wouldn't be anything further for Merit to do!

Best regards, Eric
