[ih] Early use of the "Internet" term (1977)

> That was QUIKTRAN. I WAS THE SYSTEM ENGINEER IN LOS ANGELES 1965-1967 !

I played with QUIKTRAN back at the T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights around that time. It was written by John Morrisey and was mind-blowing -- a whole different way to program and debug. I also played around with JOSS at RAND, but actually did a lot of work using the interactive JOVIAL interpreter, TINT, at SDC. You could code and debug subroutines using TINT, then compile them using the JOVIAL compiler -- way more productive than batch processing programming.
