....but USENET, where you are now, is much older than the Web. I don't
know who invented it or where.

Oh yeah, In in the UK: Essex.

.... but the first packet switched network was up and running at the
National Physical Laboratory (NPL), located at Teddington outside
London. The idea was then explained to the ARPANET guys at a conference.
That was the first they knew about it. The discussion was the basis of
TCP/IP.

Presently from North Carolina, but born and bred in
South Carolina, CSA


Ray,

I'm sort of the other way 'round. NC was my home for quite awhile, but
now I'm in SC. (born in GA, Flannery O'Conner has my favorite GA quote)

That's one ugly ass trailer... keep flying. You and I are going to
cross paths sooner or later. I'm looking forward to it,

Doug
(South Carolina, USA, a land of ice, if only for a few days)

Does that trailer load over the tongue? If so, you have my
sympathies... Depending on some other stuff, I may have a better one
for sale, soon... You NEED it... haha!

Interesting from these replies that there seem to be
more members from outside the USA than in
