[AusNOG] Is anyone else sick of Tony abbot claiming Malcolm Turbull invented the internet.

[Beeson, Ayden]

I support this public service announcement.

It's driving me crazy too. Being a Chairman of a company does not qualify one to claim they invented the internet or brought it to Australia.

I work at a University; I don't claim I've invented tertiary education....

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Is anyone else sick of Tony abbot claiming Malcolm Turbull invented the internet? Im sure im going to get a flame for being off topic. But it's starting to Sx! me up the wall.

I clearly remember Malcolm Turnbul and Sean Howard's faces when they first saw the xylogics annex's with netcomm modems that Microplex had been using for months to provide slip and ppp when OzEmail provided an email only service and that was a good year after APANA was offering SLIP.

Annoying... Any lurking jurno's after fact's if A quick google cant reveal the truth.
