[ih] "This is the History of Ethernet."

[Bob Purvy]

So much work! Congratulations. You know that Bob Metcalfe is online, right?

I wrote a historical novel:  https://www.albertcory.io/inventing-the-future

that tries to recreate what our reaction to the Ethernet was, back then.
Obviously not everyone was a fan. I also have a whole chapter on the great
lightning strike of 1978 that took down the Xerox Ethernet. Even though I
was there at the time, I had no memory of it, so I had to rely on research
to find out what happened.
