Hehehehe. An acquaintence of mine from Brown left the GeoPhysics program back in 1990 to go get his PhD as a "Science Historian". Last I talked to him back in 1992 or so he said there were several people in the program who were starting to explore the various histories of the "Information Revolution". Now that is a truly good usage of historical documentation techniques (IMOHO) - the documentation of the history of a fairly fundamental interaction shift while it is occuring. Even just rereading the old "email" from back in the FIDOnet and BitNET days reveals what a shift we have come to see since. > Hmmm...

Even if only for those of us who like to read and know history as a series of original viewpoints. (such as reading the entries on Henry Ford from the Columbia Encyclopedia of 1938) - BTW I am one of those people who likes to save this type of email as good reading on the protocol stew and musing about same.
