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

Sheer luxury.. we used to have to send binary strings via telex to others who then had to type it in at the other end!

And to do that we used to pay uncle George $300 to rent his FJ to pull the CPM operated luggable around in box trailer!

Luggable required three phase power so we had to travel to ship yards and bang in rivets 25 hours a day to pay for power.

Appletalk... you were lucky. In my day we had to map drives using globally routed
Netware IPX, on  LLC Ethernet frames mixed into the DIX headers.
