I wonder if Al Gore will try to take credit for this, too? ;)

Wicked cool. William Gibson cyberpunk noosphere stuff.

I like.

Considering that I started wasting time on the 'net when there was nothing but email and bulletin boards, and we dribbled out data at 2400k over landlines.... We've come a long way, baby.

Hard not to be nostalgic about those old bulletin boards, though--they were like the Wild West. We were pioneers--first time in history we could argue about inconsequential bullsh*t with people all over the world. ;;D

Best,

George

They got the start of the WWW wrong by seven years. And I remember grid computing from all the way back in the late sixties.
2400k over landlines to the BBS. I cry when I think of 300 Baud over Watts lines. 14,400 hacken kernel code over the IRC was fun.
Buy Cisco stock. Those boys will be in on whatever happens.
