I just wanted you to see this article, since you ripped me, Floyd, along with that pitiful "DarkMatter" on the date of the founding of the Internet. Now, we all know, that the internet as it is today is nothing like it was then. I was also corrected on the date. I claimed 1967 and was told 1969. Once again, this may be semantics, since it wasn't really in place when ARPAnet started. But in any event, I think this article gives the dates and pretty well substantiates my claims. It seems that some folks around here are so wrapped up in minutia and just dying to find a mistake that perhaps, they don't do their homework..... Check out the article...now the article speaks mainly to another subject , but, Inforworld seems to think Lawrence Roberts was the founder of the Internet and that it started in 1967....How bout that....DarkMatter claims I told a whopper....maybe it's time he call InfoWorld and argue it with them.....later, Ross
Here is the article

ARPANET was Originally DARPANET, which originated in 1969, just as Mr. Davidson stated.

Yet again, you miss the reference. I know full well about their use in industrial embedded designs. I was referring to a PC made with it. You, of course, didn't comprehend what you obviously only "glanced over" very well.

It went into production in 1974, just as I stated it did.
