The Internet (Arpanet) 25 Years Ago. The Way It Was.

May 15, 2011   //   by Sterling   //   My Blog  //  No Comments

Telehack.com has meticulously re-created the Internet as it appeared to a command line user over a quarter century ago. Drawing on material from Jason Scott’s TextFiles.com, the text-only world of the 1980s appears right in your browser. If you want to show somebody what the Arpanet looked like (you didn’t call it the “Internet” until the late ’80s) this is it. Using the ‘finger’ command and seeing familiar names from decades ago (some, sadly, ghosts now) sends a chill down your spine.”
