Word got out a week ago with a message from Vint cerf to the internet-history list. The thread Vint started is here: https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/internet-history/2024-January/009265.html Vint is collecting anecdotes here: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XU6Fn5rFeJLO4mIBSa9e8V8BIDwafI0Lvlmi4gQw... E/edit> Many good stories... So much more than NTP. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
