[ih] Call for papers for the Internet histories journal : Arpanet (1969-2019)

[Miles Fidelman]

After distributing the CFP to some colleagues at BBN - who were there at 
the beginning, someone pointed out that this is a new, and rather 
expensive publication - and the basic response was "screw that, why 
write for a journal that few people will actually read."

Miles Fidelman, BBN 1985-1992 (more like the end of the ARPANET era).
