Thanks for that pointer. I liked this:

>>> Lynch: We built it for remote login and file transfer, ok, access to remote resources that was its absolute thing. E-mail was an accident.

In 1995, I'd have said of the CERN and HEP (high energy physics) networks:

"We built them for email, remote login and file transfer, ok, access to remote resources. WWW was an accident."

So it goes.
