As long as we’re being pedantic, January 1, 1983 is considered the
official birthday of the Internet, when TCP/IP first let different
kinds of computers on different networks talk to each other.
It’s 2021, hence the Internet is /less/ than, not more than, 40 years
old. Given your mathematical skills, I put no stock in your claim
that we still can’t “buy an NMS that just works.” :)
Hehehe :-)...
I guess we can reliably say that the ARPANET wasn't keen on pretty
