Gregory's Server@Viss Middle 1900's here. In 1994--the date of that antiquarian research paper the student is asking permission to cite in their report--I was learning to use computers and had just moved from using bulletin board systems to using the NCSA Mosaic browser to surf a newfangled thing called the "internet."

@Viss @elaterite In 1994, I had been using computers for over 12 years, had been on the Internet for 8 years, and was busily founding the first 100% broadband end-user ISP in the US. If I cited works on network design and security from the 1990s, they would have almost no relevance to the current state of the art.  @gcvsa @elaterite muahahahhah but they dont know that >:D (in 94 i think i was in 8th grade and i may have gotten my first pc - i think my first modem was 2400 baud) @Viss @elaterite I got my first PC in 8th grade, too, but that was 1981 or 1982. |
