[ih] Question - reference source for formal decommissioning of ARPANET in 1990?

[Karl Auerbach]

I think that is correct.

I wish I had gotten to know several of those people better or maintained 
contact.

For instance, Jan Garwick had stories of tracking the bits of oil 
drilling in Norway during WW-II in which he inserted acid vials into the 
drill pipes and then calculated (on mechanical or electrical-relay based 
computers) where the drill bit was based on the lines etched into those 
vials by the acid.  Apart from the technology there was another 
difficulty he ran into - which was explaining to the German soldiers why 
he was carrying around thick notebooks filled with seemed to be rather 
random looking numbers that suggested encryption - and that he was 
perhaps a spy.
