[ih] "40 years on, the Internet transmits every aspect of our lives" (SF Chronicle / SFGATE)

[John Day]

Does this qualify for internetworking?  I may have beat you by a few months.  ;-)

In late June of 1976, I moved to Houston so my wife could post-doc at Baylor College of Medicine. I was still working at Illinois with the ARPANET group there. (I even have a t-shirt that says University of Illinois at Houston.) ;-) I rented a DecWriter and dialed-in to Telenet, connected to Multics and from their connected to Illinois over the ARPANET.  ;-)  Did that daily for about 2 years, except when I would go back up to Urbana for a couple of days. I was definitely one of the earliest telecommuters but not the first. I think that was John Melvin.

Take care,
John Day
