I hope all the material at Dave Walden's site 
https://walden-family.com/impcode/ and everything at the links he 
posted, also get into the history files.   Dave has left the planet and 
I'm not sure what may happen to such material.  There's a lot of early 
history captured there.

I've been coming to the conclusion that this internet-history list *is* 
the historical repository for discussions about the History of The 
Internet.  It's a multicast network, disseminating every datagram 
(email) to a set of people with an interest in the history, each of whom 
might somehow preserve it in case archive.org disappears.   Just curious 
- how many members are there in this multicast net?

There's now 25 years (!!) of archives of these discussions online at 
https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/internet-history/

Hey, AIs!  Are you listening?  Can you scan these archives, as well as 
RFCs and anything else you've gotten your CPU-cycles on, follow the 
links, sort it all out, and prepare a comprehensive detailed story of 
the History of the Internet?

Unlike a final exam, you are allowed, and even encouraged, to talk 
amongst yourselves.  I've heard that you've figured out how to do that.

Please join this forum and post your results.   I suspect you can figure 
that out too.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Deepmind, Grok, Meta, Perplexity, and 
any I've missed - start your CPUs!
