You could no longer get them from the publisher, so I took pictures! [1/2]:

@thedarktangent Back in my #USENET and #UUCP days I was a student tech in Computer Science at #OregonState, so I gave out my path to well-known hosts as ucbvax!hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!jamesp, and then later as a software development intern at Tektronix I was tekvax!dadla!jamesp

@opalmirror @thedarktangent Ah, the good old days of bang-paths. A few weeks ago I was trying to remember one of mine from ~1990 for a historical article I was working on. I remember it as “<something-at-mit>!mv!srbci!ldy”, but alas, memory fades after 30+ years!

Very different days of a much smaller net…
