And the service today is still faster, lol. Ahh, but the lack of spam. Oh for the joys of yester year.
Thank you for this wonderful and information packed article on the the first uses of the internet. Waste of Pixals if you ask me!!
Actually, the first Internet was pictured in a drawing by, I think, Jon Postel. Two nodes. UCLA and Stanford.
You should also include a article on FIDO Net a linking of all the amateur and volunteer systems that were linked across the country that also included Case Western Reserve’s FreeNet system that originally started with a Apple computer on a Professors desk in his office.
The Fido Net systems were linked by way of modem and passed information at least once a day.
