[ih] Users vs Hosts on ARPANET

[Brian Dear]

Most of the histories of the first 10 years of ARPANET show graphs  
depicting how the number of host machine connections grew year by  
year.   That's swell, but what I've always wondered was, how many  
PEOPLE used the ARPANET during those years?   That is, how many people  
were connected to those host machines and at what year-by-year rate  
did the "ARPANET population" grow?

Anyone have any references to such data?
