Michael,

“Looking into” isn’t “is” :)

Mark,

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.” :)


Pedantically, IP is 40 years old as of last month. What you're talking about is 
the flag day. People including myself were looking into internet protocols well 
before the flag day.

Mike
