[ih] Interview [Was: Prehistory: NPL Scrapbook]

[Brian E Carpenter]

Vint, et al,

I did an email interview with Peter Cashin - it was very interesting, and not just about an early hypertext project. I'll be meeting him in person tomorrow in Auckland.

The interview was published as a research report today:

This is not well known but was a (small) distributed information service including things very like hyperlinks, running over the pioneering NPL packet-switched network. Vint may remember Peter from INWG meetings.
